Career path: In addition to leading a team of roughly 70 employees, I’m a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor. In the spring, I’ll be facilitating the Livestrong program, which offers post-rehabilitation exercises and supportive care for cancer survivors.
Best feature: Probably my legs. They’ve done a whole lot for me.
Charitable involvement: The Last Call Foundation, honoring firefighter Michael Kennedy, selected me to run on its Boston Marathon team in 2015 and 2017, and I was able to raise more than $15,000 for the charity.
Hobbies: I’ve completed 10 marathons, including Boston twice. I’m hoping to run New York, but on my bucket list is the original marathon in Greece.
Special skills: I may have participated in a couple of karaoke contests.
Celebrity crushes: Jude Law, Jon Hamm and Jason Momoa.
Craziest thing you ever did for love (or lust): Shortly after college, I snuck off to the Dominican Republic with a boyfriend that no one in my family knew about. I made sure no one was home when he picked me up to go to the airport.
Physical trait that drives you crazy in a good way: Height. I love a tall drink of water.
Deal breaker: Disliking kids. I have 11 nieces and nephews and was a nanny for a long time.
First date faux pas: Finding out my date doesn’t like pizza.
Proudest achievement: Participating in a Reebok documentary with my friends while we ran from San Francisco to Napa Valley.
