If you could visit any place in the world, where would you choose to go and why? Either New Zealand or Japan. New Zealand for the outdoor activities, and Japan for the sushi, of course! What is your favorite movie? It’s cliché, I know, but Shawshank Redemption is probably my favorite movie. That last scene gets me every time. Are you a dog or cat person? Definitely a dog person! Sadly, my building doesn't allow dogs. What is your favorite memory from your time at Stern? When I co-produced Stern Follies. There were a lot of late nights and laughs while planning that program. Why do you choose to stay engaged with Stern as an alumnus? I got so much out of my time at Stern -- academically, professionally, and personally. Since I had such an incredible experience, I want to do what I can to ensure others do, too. It’s important to stay engaged with communities that broaden your perspective! What quote most inspires you? “Reclaiming my time.” |
