What do you enjoy most about being in your role?

The variety, honestly. I like that no day is the same.

I'm also very fortunate that I've gotten to this position in my career. It wasn't looking very likely this time last year.

I think your career, where you're at right now, even if you've just started, is a summation of everything you've done so far. The longer you go, the greater that summation becomes.

I work from home four days a week. I get to spend time with my dog and my cat. I get to go on vacation whenever.

Even though when you're running your own business, you're never truly on vacation, I can just kind of do whatever I want. I like the freedom of being able to do what I want.

But I also have the freedom or the variety to have a variety of tasks that keep me entertained. I know that basically the sky is the limit for me.
