Coffee Chat
Question One:
If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your phone, what would you keep?
I couldn’t live without: Audible, Spotify and Email.
Question Two:
Early riser or night owl?
I am an early riser. There is nothing quite like watching the sunrise when I’m out for a morning run.
Question Three:
Favourite sport to watch?
Anything my two daughters play. Right now, that’s hockey, soccer, and badminton.
Question Four:
Best book you’d recommend?
Reading and listening to books is a passion of mine. One of my all-time favorites is "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" and its sequel, "Cilka's Journey," both written by Heather Morris. These books tell a powerful story of hope, love, and humanity during the Holocaust. I highly recommend them.
