One word that describes how you work: thoroughly

What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?

Google Calendar, Microsoft Office, Gmail, Reminders

What’s your best time-saving shortcut/life hack?

I try to have all my dinner meals planned out for the week and already made and frozen. That way, all I have to do when I get home is heat them up instead of spending time cooking.

What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?

Baking cookies, I have had lots of practice. I have a willingness to experiment with new recipes. My secret is to add toffee pieces to the dough for chewier cookies.

What do you listen to while you work?

Recently, I’ve been listening to classical music while I study. I have found that I am able to relax and focus better.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?

My inspiration usually comes from family, friends, and people who know more than me. And Pintrest!

What’s your favorite quote?

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.

— Vince Lombardi
