If you could be any superhero, who would it be?
Have to say Spiderman. I loved Spidey when I was growing up. Loved everything about him – his costume and the villains he faced.

If you could live anywhere, where would you be?
The Isle of Capri. Lindsey and I went their for our honeymoon and I was just amazed at how beautiful it is there.

Name one person that had the greatest impact on you growing up:
There are so many people I could say, mostly family. But if I had to pick one, I would have to say it would be my grandmother. She worked very hard and raised a huge family and stayed modest all along.

What is your favorite part of working at Compass?
There are a lot of things to love about Compass. I personally love that I have been given opportunities to grow and better myself.

Genie pops out of a conference room at Compass and grants you three wishes. What would they be?
That everyone in my family would be given good health, to travel the world, and drive a solid gold, rocket-powered car

Genie budgets got cut. You can only have one:
Family one, easy.

Favorite Muppet and least favorite Muppet:
Favorite would be my fellow ginger Beaker and my least favorite would be Rolf. Dog that plays piano… enough said.
