- What is one work perk you’re thankful for?
- All of our health care benefits – from insurance policies to general wellness to mental health. The comprehensive list can’t be beat. The entire Obsidian team is fortunate to have the burden of expensive health care plans completely taken care of.
- What Thanksgiving dish are you most excited to eat?
- No question, pecan pie!
- What is your favorite work-related activity? (Going to news stations, planning/attending events, networking, social media, etc.)
- Solving problems! Whether that’s for a co-worker, our firm overall or for a client, I love finding solutions and seeing the problem resolved.
- Do you have any fun plans for the holiday?
- We have a few fun client events I’m looking forward to, like Hernando Dickens of Christmas! Beyond that, I plan to fill my holiday with equal parts relaxation and fun Thanksgiving activities.
- What is your favorite part about the fall?
- Spending time outside when it’s cool. I love doing all kinds of things outdoors – working, playing with my kids, walking – anything in the fresh air! I do not love winter or really cold temperatures, so getting to spend time outside during the brief “fall” temps is a favorite thing to do this time of year.
