What do you do at Montrose? I’ll do everything that is needed, except coding

What superpower do you bring to the team? ME

What gets you out of bed and into the office each morning? I do really like the people I work with, and the job is for me more than a job. I appreciate the attitude the boss and managers have towards employees.

What direction did you take to get here? My beginning in this company was a set of coincidences, and I can say that I am here by a stroke of luck :).

If you had Bill Gates’ money, what would you spend it on? Traveling around the world, and living in a lot of different places for a year or two, so not only could I visit the places, but also see how the real everyday life looks there.

What is life outside of Montrose like? Life outside of Montrose is a constant rush. I’m a mum of three and a wife. I’m very into running — I managed to run a half Marathon recently, and I’m very proud of myself. On my way to work, I try to read books. I also like to train pole dance (it’s like acrobatics), but since I have classes only once a week, it looks more funny than impressive. It’s a sport that requires a lot of strength and persistence. I hope one day I’ll be able to do some awesome tricks.
