Favorite project:
I am drawn to consulting because of the unique intellectual challenges that each project presents.  My favorite part of any project, however, is the “ah-HA” moment.  We start with a blank slate when we begin our project research, testing thesis after thesis, refining our search until finally, there is that moment when, “ah-HA!”, all of our efforts merge and we can see the path towards the answer.  At Acclaro, my “favorite” is the persistent research, lively debate and working with my clients towards our team goal.

Passions and hobbies:
My favorite way to spend a sunny Saturday begins with a morning at the farmer’s market, choosing fresh vegetables for dinner.  This would be followed by a bike ride with my husband, an avid cyclist, and then enjoying a well-earned novel while relaxing the afternoon away. 

Dream Assignment:
While living and working in Brazil, I fell in love with the country.  Who could resist such lush landscape, musical language, exquisite food and vibrant people?  My dream assignment would be to return to Brazil, using my strategic skills to link local businesses with the international market.
