How do you define success?

For me, being successful would mean being happy, having a full life with family and friends, having enough money to be comfortable and never worry about money (but not so much that I was "rich"), having a wonderful partner, having enough money to give my kids the experiences that I've had, and making a giant impact on the communities that have enriched my life.

Tell us about a time you showed compassion at work.

When I was a senior on my sports team in college (I hope this counts!), I heard a teammate comment that she hadn't eaten a proper meal in a few days. I approached her privately, and she revealed that she'd run out of money and could no longer buy food for herself. With her permission, I confidentiality advocated to the athletics department at my school on her behalf, and I was able to secure an emergency loan for her. She continues to tell me how grateful she is that I was kind, discrete, and helpful in that situation.

What are you most grateful for?

I practice gratitude daily. In my practice, I try to recognize both "big" and "small" things. I often feel like I have a lot to be grateful for, but I'm most grateful that I have the chance to see the sunrise every day. It's a beautiful, small thing, but it represents so much: a fresh start, how incredible nature is, the fact that I'm alive, vitality, a common link between all humans, and other things besides.

What are three traits you are proud to possess?

I am proud to be enthusiastic, caring, and determined.

What would be the title of your memoir?

"Banking to Baking:" The Chaotic but Hopefully Endearing Story of a Twenty-Something Trying to Stay Happy, Make a Living, and Follow her Passions
