What do you enjoy about your work Talking with customers, hearing their stories about how they’ve used our product to help them deliver results. I also really enjoy working with my agile teams.  Continuously learning from the team architects and developers really appeals to the geek in me.

About your family: I am married to my amazing husband Jay for almost 9 years.  We have 2 daughters; Olivia is 6 and Ella is 2 and live in Babylon, NY on the south shore of Long Island.  We live across the street from a canal that leads out to the Great South Bay.  The whole family loves the water and this summer we learned how to stand-up paddleboard (SUP).  We have a 12.8ft board that can fit all 4 of us.

Favorite 3 movies of all time: The Matrix, Avatar & Pride and Prejudice though I’m currently forced to watch “Frozen” about 12 times a week.

Favorite book: “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen and I also really enjoyed “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell

Favorite hobbies:  Running, cycling, swimming, snorkeling, hiking, skiing, traveling, flying my drone, and now SUP.

Interesting fact about yourself: Running relaxes me so I run as often as I can.  To keep up with my training, I usually sign up for at least 2 races per month and the distance varies from 5k to 10k to ½ Marathons (13.1 miles).  I also completed in 2 sprint Triathlons and the challenging Tough Mudder with a team of folks from CA Technologies.  Some say having two young kids is enough training but I’m currently training for the NYC Marathon.  The Marathon will be my longest distance so far so I’m looking forward to it!
