What is your favorite video game / board game?
I’m not real fond of either. I love seeing my two boys create in Minecraft, though! I’m just amazed at their creativity and skill.

I would love the chance to see Billy Holiday preform live.

Describe your perfect Saturday.
Sleeping in, having a long discussion over coffee with a friend, listening to NPR in the afternoon, then dinner outside and glass of wine in front of a movie with the family.
All-time favorite movie?
I just don’t know, but I love Pixar films. They are just so happy. I can recite all the lines to The Princess Bride, but who can’t at my age!
If you could sell/produce more of any service we offer, what would it be and why?
Wall graphics. They are pretty no nonsense and when it comes to making money, which is my job, they are a way to work smarter and not harder. Hope that doesn’t make me sounds lazy… just smart.
What’s your favorite thing to produce / or see being produced in the shop?
Anything made of separate parts being assembled to create a completed piece.
What made you choose your current career?
I didn’t want to work on a computer all day and I find people interesting but didn’t want to teach. I got lucky that in Sales at Cushing I get to be around creative people and see something come to life 3-dimension-ally. I secretly enjoy the fact that its not always easy getting there and quite rewarding because of that!
If your coworkers had to vote you best, most improved, or most likely to do something, what would it be?
I have the award on my desk… most likely to do the Elaine Dance. They’re right!
What’s something you’ve learned since joining the Cushing team?
What haven’t I learned? I came in clueless about printing. Maybe it’s learning that this type of field is very creative and something I can truly love and excel at.
What motivates you to go to work each day?
The potential for success.
