She loves her market as she majored in Business Intelligence and Analytics, so has an excellent technical understanding (giving her a great advantage over candidates). Outside of work, she loves spending time with her family, her friends, and going on a long walk around the city… and somehow ending up at a great happy hour on a nice day!
