How would you explain what a cell is to your six-year-old nephew?
The cell is the smallest unit with the basic properties of life.
Would you go camping or glamping?
I choose glamping. If you want an experience that's really different from your daily routine, then stick with rough and tumble camping. After all, for comfort, you can just stay home or check into a nice hotel. If you prefer a mix of both worlds, the more natural and the familiar, then glamping may be the right approach for you.
Are you a leader or follower?
I like to think of myself as both a good leader and follower. I approach each situation differently and respond to what it needs from me. I enjoy leading projects that relate to my strengths, but I'm also happy to follow the lead of others who may be a better fit.
Best/memorable moment
My most memorable moment was when I received my first salary and gave it to my mother.
If you could be any animal what would you choose and why?
"The animal that best represents me as a professional is an eagle. They possess a keen eye and perform their best when circling high overhead to get a full perspective of the situation. As a professional, I excel at looking at the full scope of a project and identifying opportunities for improvement."
What do you hate the most?
I prefer to frame the negative in a positive—or neutral—way.
If given a choice, what alternate career would you have opted for?
Pilot
What is your dream travel destination?

What would you do if you suddenly became homeless?

What else would you like to tell about yourself?
