Your coworkers can always count on you to...
Have a comfy chair.Â
What is the best advice you have ever been given?
“When you know better, do better.” I heard this from my Mom a lot and learned later that it is a Maya Angelou quote. Wise words.
Who was the most famous person you met and where?
I met Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas from the 90s group TLC when I was a teenager and audience member on the Oprah Winfrey show.
One thing you’re willing to spend way too much on...
It’s not very exciting, but linens, like sheets, towels, etc. Once you’ve tried high quality fabric, there’s no going back.
What is your guilty pleasure?
I will spend more time than I should browsing the stacks at used record shops, whenever I can (and soft linen!).
