Q+A

Why do you love coming to work?

I love the energy that is created when like-minded people who are committed to doing good in the world, come together.


If you didn’t work at Imaginable Futures, what would you be doing?

Sometimes I dream of starting a winery...that also rescues animals (Look up: Malibu Wine Safari).


What did you want to be when you grew up?

A nurse or doctor because I enjoy working with and helping people. I later realized that I hate the sight of blood, so I guess that was a problem!

Where is your happy place?

Anywhere with water.

What’s the closest thing to real magic in this world?

Love, definitely.


Favorite season?

I have two: summer and fall.


Sunrise or sunset?

Sunrise. I’m a morning person.
