Q3. What was your first job?
A3. I worked at a Fish & Chips café that occupied an old Foster Freeze in downtown Petaluma. The owner had bought the existing soft serve machines and I spent most of my time experimenting with frying ice cream. Oh, and I constantly smelled like fried food.

Q8. What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
A8. I’m not sure if someone gave me this advice or it’s become my own advice over the years, but it’s being okay with learning what you DON’T want to, in order to get closer to understanding what you DO want to do. *shrug emoji*
Q9. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
A9. My superpower would be to make people happy and feel loved with a smile.
Q10. What app or piece of tech can’t you live without?
