What’s Always on My Mind: Buildings that aren’t working right that are wasting energy as we speak.
Fun Fact: I make a mean apricot jam, strawberry-rhubarb jam, and maple-macadamia-mango granola. During college, I performed and toured the west coast with Dumi Maraire’s African Marimba.
Mantra: Do what you can to make the world a better place. Go ahead and ask – all they can say is no. Count your blessings – no, really, go ahead and do it. You’ll be surprised how they add up.
People don’t know that…I sing in the glide ensemble, an internationally recognized gospel choir. I like to make Ikebana (traditional Japanese flower arrangements).
