Something no one in the office knows about you:
I have an irrational fear of volleyball. Don’t worry, I’m just as embarrassed. Here’s to hoping we never do a team-building activity that revolves around sports!
The best part of working at Radio Milwaukee:
I would have to say connecting with communities and learning about the powerful impact that’s being done in Milwaukee. I walk out of every project inspired. Also, getting free food from events we host is a plus!
Hobbies:
Writing, making digital art and winning made-up arguments when I’m in the shower.
Comfort drink:
Arabic mint tea. Needs to have fresh mint leaves!
