Why do you choose to live and work in Baltimore?  

I am a native Baltimorean and I want to show the world that Baltimore has a ton of untapped potential right here and doesn't need to look too far.

What's one surprising fact about yourself?  

I never realized that my birthday was a national observance for fallen soldiers until middle school when I learned about Veteran's Day. I always just thought my mother took the day off to bake my birthday cake.

Go-to snack? 

Trail Mix, any kind will do!
