How do you define a successful career?

Success is measured by so many things – feeling proud about the work you are doing and how you “pay it forward”, realizing your surrounded by amazing people both professionally and at home and most of all being excited everyday by what is coming.

Best trick for maintaining the personal-professional life balance? 

Put the electronics (i.e., smart phone) AWAY.

When not in the office, where are we most likely to find you?

With my friends and family… and dog.
