Q & A Session.
Q: What's your background? What did you do before joining ECE?
I worked at a small private university in admissions, primarily focusing on international students. That previous experience has been beneficial in my role here at ECE.
Q: What do you like most about working at ECE?
Everyone at ECE is extremely helpful. Everyone operates as a team and wants to see you succeed.
Q: What are three words that describe ECE's culture?

Q: ECE prides itself on our Halloween celebrations. What’s your favorite Halloween costume (at any age)?
I love a good over-the-top scary costume! The scarier, the better. Something like a creepy clown.
Q: Where have you traveled inside or outside of the U.S.? Do you have a favorite country, city, or region that you like to visit?
I've been to Mexico, Jamaica, and Canada. I’m hoping to do a United Kingdom tour in the next few years. I’ve traveled to multiple states within the US. I love to explore new places. It is a passion. My current favorite is Newport, Rhode Island. I’m wondering how I can get my husband to move there!
Q: Do you have a favorite cuisine? If yes, a particular dish you love?
I truly enjoy all cuisine! I will try almost anything. I mean, anything. But my favorite dish is Tabouli. Tabouli is a salad of Lebanese origin consisting chiefly of cracked wheat, tomatoes, parsley, mint, onions, lemon juice, and olive oil. It’s delicious!
