What is your favorite App?
I have a BlackBerry and tend to stick to using it as a phone and for email, but I recently downloaded the Pandora app and have been using that.

What is your favorite Season?
My favorite season is fall — with the changing leaves I think it’s the most beautiful time of the year. I love the outdoor smells and culinary tastes of the season. Chilly mornings and evenings warming up to a comfortable afternoon is appropriate for sweaters and layers but too soon for the bulky winter coat. Also the milder temperatures allow me to better enjoy some of my favorite outdoor activities.

What’s up?
I’m being interviewed…are you seriously writing that down?

Paper or Plastic?
Reusable bag!

What is the best and worst part of your job?
The best thing is definitely the people. The great culture that’s defined by the company’s core values (which people cannot believe I know off the top of my head). The worst part about my job is all the restrictions, but it is always an exciting challenge to find innovative solutions while staying within MLR and FDA guidelines.

Compare working at Compass to a TV show.
It is a lot like The Office, but without the creepy inappropriate boss or the lack of competence, mixed with some of the love and quirkiness from Family Ties.

What’s your favorite food?
A well-made Italian sub/hoagie, although the #5 at Red Onion is a close second.

What did you want to be when you “grew up?”
When I was real little, I wanted to be a Princess Ballerina Bride. Then I wanted to be a lawyer for awhile because my mom said I like to argue – but it turns out I only liked to argue with her.

What is the best part of your week?
Whenever I have time to cook a nice dinner.
