Personal mission statement: My grandmothers and mother have all passed away, but I try to live by the volumes of advice they gave me. I know I wouldn’t be where I am without their prayers, faith, hope and advice. If any action I take won’t make my mother proud, then I shouldn’t do it.

Best career advice you’ve been given: Strive to have a job you truly enjoy.

Books on your nightstand: Phantom Prey by John Sandford, The Teacher Who Couldn’t Read by John Corcoran, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Joe Trippi, and Thunderhead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

Person you would like to meet: Hillary Clinton. I’ve shaken her hand twice but have never really spoken with her.

Favorite vacation spot: Caribbean or anywhere I can scuba dive.
