HER TYPICAL DAY:

I get up at 6 a.m. and go to bed around 11 p.m. My top priorities are, of course, taking care of my children, and then my work. Between those things I fit in any meetings, calls and e-mails that I can.

MOST SATISFYING PART OF HER WORK:

No two days are ever the same -- it is a very fast-paced environment that never gets boring!

HER WORST HAIRSTYLE:

I had a too-short bob in college that my husband still occasionally mentions. I have avoided the bob ever since!

HER FAVORITE SONG FROM THE 80s:

Cyndi Lauper, "Time After Time"

HER BIGGEST FIRST-DAY BLOOPER:

I accidentally transposed two program costs in a presentation -- it took some time to explain the real costs.

HER MOST EMBARASSING WORK MOMENT:

I really try to avoid embarrassing moments, so thankfully I don't have any truly embarrassing stories.
