Things she loves: digging into stakeholder use cases, figuring out how business logic turns into code requirements, learning yet another programming language. She likes to use the appropriate tools for the job, and she liked the fancy sander for smoothing off edges enough that she bought one for herself. Don't ask her about flying planes because she won't shut up about it.
