What about your job would shock people? The amount of work you still have to do directly and the sheer number of fires you systematically put out in a day. It is not uncommon to be dealing with a suicidal person and the same time you are dealing with an aircon on the fritz and an employee who called in while also trying to manage being a mom to five and the sheer manpower that takes from you. 

Favorite TV show? “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Larry David’s world and experiences are awkward but absolutely on point with what many people are thinking but don’t have the guts to convey!

Favorite hobby or creative outlet? I am a history buff and love studying European history and then travelling to the sites to see where it all took place.
