**What do you like most about your job?** The wonderful people I work with and are in contact with every day.

**What aspect(s) of your current job gives you the most personal satisfaction?  Why?**  Being able to get parts into the mechanic’s hands so they can get the weapon systems back to our warfighters as fast as possible.

**What are some of your passions outside of work?**  I love to golf with my husband and go on family vacations.

**What is your favorite military aircraft?  Why?**  The C-130 is my favorite military aircraft. My first job at Hill AFB was in support of the C-130 depot maintenance and, living near the base, I loved to see them fly overhead.  They are so majestic and provide such wonderful service to our military.

**What is/are your favorite book(s), television show(s) or movie(s)?** Twilight, Stranger Things, This is Us, and Life in Pieces television series.
