Person you admire: I can’t choose one! I think that every time I get to really know someone and hear their story, I admire them. Everybody is amazing once you know them. I learned this from attending lots of funerals as a church organist. Most were elderly people who I had barely known or known only as they aged. I’d hear their life story and be amazed that this person was living so close to me and I didn’t really know them. Someone I really admire right now is Elia in our accounting department. She is a single mother of two who just earned her master's degree in accounting while working full-time and commuting three hours a day to work! Is that not admirable?
Three words that describe you: (I need four!) “Jack of all trades”
Likes to do in your spare time: Play the piano, read, play with my granddaughters
If I've learned something in life, it is: Never say “never”
