+====Tell me about a team project you did at work. What was the project, what was your role, and what was the outcome?====
+====How do you like to be managed?====
+I like to have feedback and have clear expectations set for me. It is stressful not to know how you are really doing.
+====What does your perfect workday look like? Take me through it.====
+I like to start working by 8am, do my most thinking work by noon. I find I have the most energy before noon. Then meetings and research in the afternoon. Sometimes I get the urge to program after 3pm, so I go for it.

+TerraMar - database of quotes.

+====How do you maintain a work-life balance?====
+I don't like to stay up late. I try to get enough sleep and a bit of exercise so I am healthy for work. I also have dogs and a family that help to take my mind away from work to avoid burnout. I think it is really important and I owe it to my employer to not get burned out.
+====Aside from work, what are you passionate about?====
+I have a family, we raised 5 kids. We did a good enough job where they all went to college. I also like side-project. Like the meteor camera videoes to youtube.
