What do you enjoy most about YPN? If you are new and haven’t experienced what YPN has to offer - what are you hoping to accomplish within this community?

I am hoping to gain a greater sense of community with individuals who are around the same age as myself. I would love to learn more about other member’s careers, their success, as well as their struggles. Not only would I love to gain some great networking connections, but I would also love to make friends in the process.

How long have you been in Sonoma County? If a short period where are you from originally?

Originally, I am from the Sacramento area. However, I moved to Sonoma County to attend college at Sonoma State University about 4 years ago. After graduation, I decided moved up to Santa Rosa and I couldn’t be happier!

Whether it is “Hakuna Matata” “Carpe Diem” or “Just Do IT” - Do you have a motto in life?

“If you can dream it, you can do it” – Walt Disney

If you were allowed to eat one type of food for the rest of your life (and not deal with the consequences) what would it be?

If I were allowed to only eat one type of food for the rest of my life it would definitely be Italian food. I LOVE pasta, even though it is not the healthiest. My second choice would of course be sushi.

If you were to play “hooky” from work for a day, what would your ideal day look like?

If I were to play hooky for the day, I would spend the majority of the day at the beach with my dog. I love going to bodega bay, eating clam chowder, and relaxing on the beach. I would most likely end my day with a board game night among friends.

What is your proudest accomplishment thus far?

My proudest accomplishment thus far is graduating from Sonoma State. It is just one stepping stone to getting me on the right career path that I want to take.

Whether it’s a sitcom, Rom-Com, Horror or Thriller – What is on your recently watched list on Netflix/Hulu?

Right now I am currently watching Scandal on Netflix. So far it is one of my favorite TV Dramas!
