SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT ME:
I’m a burgeoning art history nerd! Videos about famous paintings, artists, and art styles are all over my YouTube feed. It has given me a new appreciation for my trips to the Art Institute.

WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IN THE LAST 10 YEARS:
I’m incredibly proud of the work we have done with the 2025 fundraising campaign.

YOUR BEST PIECE OF ADVICE:
A mentor and good friend of mine and I used to talk a lot about what it means to be in control. It’s a tough topic and, I think, pretty convoluted. He told me that our input to any situation, a disciplined approach, time and effort we spend, the attitude we apply is critically important. But, ultimately, we do not control the outcome. It was a tough truth to accept, but gratifying and freeing as I have come around to it.
