Q.What is the most challenging aspect of your job?

Q. What's the best way to relax after a tough day?
A. Go home to play with my kids.
Q. What do you like most about living and/or working in the Finger Lakes region?
A. Seeing the lakes on my way into work. I don't think I could live in a more beautiful part of the country. The views are great.
Q. If you had the choice of meeting any two people in the world who would they be, and why?
A. A grandparent on each side that I was never able to meet.
Q. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
A. Hopefully still a happy mother of two and still with my loving husband.
Q. If you were to win the lottery tomorrow, what#'s the first thing you'd do?
A. Probably have a big party for all my family and friends.
Q. What would people who think they know you be most surprised to find out about you?
A. That I'm scared of heights.
Q. If you were mayor or supervisor of your town/city, what#'s the first thing you'd change?
A. I'd like to change people's attitudes about our tourism visitors. People have negative attitudes about them, but if they weren't here, a lot of our businesses wouldn't be here.
