Coolest thing about her job: The impact.
The last thing she read: The Haunted Bridge, a Nancy Drew mystery by Carolyn Keene, which I read with my 12-year-old daughter. I loved watching her be as excited as I was at her age.
The last thing she ate that she loved: I’m obsessed with the salads at Sweetgreen in Ardmore.
Role models: My mom, because she always puts family first and values others. My husband, because he’s a doer and a giver.
Pet peeve: Someone not telling me when I have food stuck in my teeth.
What she likes most about herself: That I’m athletic and a foodie.
What she likes most about others: I like people who are confident, positive and can make fun of themselves.
Ketchup or mustard? I preferred ketchup until I was 40; now, I’m a huge mustard fan. There’s a mustard that goes well with every food.
Words to live by: “It’s great to be an American,” said by my father-in-law, Arlen Specter.
