Last Book You Read Just Kids by Patti Smith


What Keeps You Up At Night? My kids, Max, 8, and Brooke, 6, when they have a cold, the future of the post office, and better ways to target online ads—but mainly my kids because I am a sound sleeper.


Hobbies I like to cook, but my real "hobby" is spending time with my kids.


Are You a Wonk? Yes. I am lucky to work for amazing causes and candidates and enjoy going to work every day. I get to deal with a wide variety of issues. I enjoy summoning my inner WONK to solve problems for folks.
