Do you have any pets?

I have a miniature pinscher named Jack-Jack and two cats, Rambo and Handy.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

I would like the ability to read minds. I think this would be incredibly useful in my professional and personal life, and I would not have to guess or worry about what people are thinking!

Have you ever had a nickname? What was it?

When I was younger some of my family called me “CC” because my middle name is Carol. As I got older, and still most people in my life outside of work call me Chris.

Do you collect anything?

I don’t “formally” collect anything, but my husband would argue that I tend to collect blankets, coffee/water tumblers and kitchen gadgets! I am also a sucker for office supplies like pens and notebooks!

What is your favorite way to spend a day off?

My favorite way to spend a day off would be to go thrift shopping or to garage sales with my mom!

What is your go-to guilty pleasure?

I love a good true crime documentary or podcast. I am definitely a #crimejunkie!

What is one thing that can instantly make your day better?

If someone surprised me with a nice note, a coffee, or something just because.
