Girlphyte

My Favorites...

Time of day: Coffee and the newspaper in the morning. I’m learning to enjoy small pleasures.

Song: Anything by Bob Dylan.

Movie: When Harry Met Sally

Book: Pride and Prejudice

Quote: “I’d rather be small and shine, than big and cast a shadow.”

The thing I value about my job is…

I love connecting with other women.

If I could change one thing about my career…

I would have spent less time having lunch in front of my computer and more time meeting new people and reconnecting with those I know.

The one thing I have to do everyday is…

I remind myself of not what I’ve failed to do, but what I managed to do in the day, what I enjoyed and how lucky I am to have a happy, healthy family and life.
