What is your mantra?

It's a tie: "Don't worry about a thing, 'cuz every little thing gonna be alright" and "Always stay humble and kind." Both from songs. I have a tattoo for the first one on my wrist.

Tell us 3-5 tech tools that you swear by that make life & work a little easier.

Apple Notes for everything, Descript for video, ChatGPT for brainstorming, and I feel naked without my Apple Watch — gotta get those steps!

What's in your mug/glass/bottle during work hours?

Coffee, tea, diet Dr Pepper, and water (I really need to do better about that last one!)

What's in your mug/glass/bottle after hours?

Tea, diet Dr Pepper, and water

Knowing what you do now, what advice would you give to your younger self?

No one needs to believe in you but you, so don't let the haters tell you who you are or what you're capable of — you can do incredible things. Also, call your mom more often, visit your dad just because, don't be afraid to take risks, and know that you are loved.
