How do you spend your free time? I spend it with my family. We like to watch a lot of movies together. We also spend time outside which I love – bike riding, hiking, playing badminton, soccer, etc.
Why did you choose this profession? I sort of fell into this profession. I majored in criminal justice in college. I have worked for a judge and was contemplating working as a probation officer. I saw that was a dark side of life that I wanted to stay away from. I got a different job with another software company as an administrative assistant and have stayed in this field ever since. I like the balance between the legal side and working with the employees.
