My hometown is\u2026<\/strong>
\nSchenectady, NY. The most recent Ryan Gosling movie (The Place Beyond the Pines<\/a>) was filmed in and took place in my hometown.<\/p>\n

My favorite company event I\u2019ve organized was\u2026<\/strong>
\nAh! This is a tough one. I get a little stressed when it comes to the organizing aspect of the events, but it\u2019s so worth it in the end. I love all of our on-site snacks\/lunches, but I really love our happy hours! Our latest at Owl Farm<\/a> was really fun.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong>
\nHappy, daring and adventurous people. And Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\n

My favorite place to visit in New York City is\u2026<\/strong>
\nI really love walking around NYC and being outside when it\u2019s sunny, so I have to say I love all of the parks: The Highline, Central Park, Prospect Park. Oh! And the Brooklyn Botanic Garden\u2026 it\u2019s only a block from my apartment!<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m digging deep here.<\/p>\n

I once received a karaoke machine for Christmas (I was about 8 years old) \u2013 one of those machines that you hook up to your TV and it video records you. I was really into performing (as you can tell with the level of dramatics here, still am) so I filmed myself for days. I started getting bored singing the same songs so I decided to do a \u201cnewscast\u201d (I should also mention that I went to college for journalism). During the weather forecast portion of this 15-minute video, I took my Dad\u2019s world atlas book, took a blind twisty off of one of the living room windows, and so eloquently projected the weather forecast (and by eloquently I mean I couldn\u2019t get the mirrored video-thing down and I kept pointing to the west when speaking of the east). Somehow my Mom stumbled upon the videotape and shared it at our family Christmas party the next year, haha. She never lets me live it down.<\/p>\n

(I could have totally gone un-dramatic there and just said, \u201cI\u2019ve caused a fire to start in the microwave not once, but twice.\u201d You\u2019re welcome.)<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m probably\u2026<\/strong>
\nCooking up a new recipe for my roommate, daydreaming up my next adventure, taking a dance class, or catching up on The Ellen Show. I like to keep life interesting and rarely sit still.<\/p>\n

The word that best describes me\u2026<\/strong>
\nDriven.<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nSO MUCH! I\u2019ve learned a lot about the human resources and recruiting industry. But also how to interact with people, network, collaborate with smart and creative people, work in a warehouse, and most importantly, feed 300+ people in one day!<\/p>\n


\nWould you rather…Spend an hour each day practicing ballet indoors or showing off your yoga poses in the park? <\/strong>
\nThat is one of the toughest questions I\u2019ve been asked in my 24 years of life! Can I practice ballet in the park? If not, I don\u2019t know how to answer this question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
