WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO WORK AT BHZ? Because of the culture. It’s a warm and inviting atmosphere that enables me to learn and develop my career.

Tell me something about yourself that no one would guess. I’m was a hockey player and spent more time in the penalty box than the ice. Probably because I didn’t get much playing time due to the fact that I was an extremely graceful skater—I grew up figure skating.

PLEASE SHARE A SUCCESS STORY—PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL. I have a lot of little successes that I get excited about; like I got to in-charge my first job with under a 1 ½ years of experience. Also, I graduated with 150 credits in less than 5 years.

What did you want to be when you grew up? It changed everyday. I wanted to be a professional figure skater, an architect, a doctor, a lawyer and a marine biologist.

WHICH WORDS OR PHRASES DO YOU MOST OVERUSE? Sure.

WHICH TALENT WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE? I wish I had a photographic memory. For example if I had a photographic memory I could pass the CPA exam pretty easily. I’ve just always wanted one. Or, I wish I could read peoples minds.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BHZ? The people and the friendships. It’s a very personable place and people really care about who you are and what you have to offer. It doesn’t take long to make friends in an environment like that. I’ve made great friendships here.
