Born and raised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An uncommon fact about me&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve had to think of so many uncommon facts about myself since working here, so instead of a new one, I&#8217;ll list some of my favorites:<br \/>\n&#8211; I have never drunk or tried coffee. Ever. Not even once. I can get a caffeine buzz of a single can of soda.<br \/>\n&#8211; I&#8217;ve sky dived (dove?) five times and hope to get certified one summer. I once went straight through a cloud! How&#8217;d it feel? Moist.<br \/>\n&#8211; As you can tell by my sky-diving activities, I am not afraid of heights. However, my biggest fear\/phobia is seeing someone other than myself close to a ledge or steep drop. Roof parties are horrible for me.<br \/>\n&#8211; I am a self-taught horror-FX make-up artist. I once entered a contest with a friend and we made me into an awesome zombie. And we won! That may not sound like much until I tell you who the judge was: Tom Savini, the original make-up artist for all of George Romero&#8217;s zombie films (<em>Day of the Dead<\/em>, <em>Dawn of the Dead<\/em>, etc).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working at UncommonGoods I&#8217;ve learned\u0085&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n\u0085The value of teamwork. There are so many moving pieces that make UncommonGoods work for our customers and they are all connected. No single person can do everything, but a well-oiled team can get it all done <em>and<\/em> exceed expectations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m inspired by&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nCalm under pressure. Selfless acts of kindness. My cat, Tree Trunks (on days off, I follow her daily routine of eating and sleeping).<\/p>\n<p><strong>If my 6th grade teacher could see me now, he or she would say\u0085&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;You look the same.&#8221; (I&#8217;m 28 now.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The most beautiful thing I&#8217;ve ever seen is\u0085&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nA starry night in rural Maine. We don&#8217;t have many stars in the Brooklyn night sky.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If I won the lottery, I&#8217;d&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nTravel the world and donate to causes that help the young, the elderly, and our environment.
