What do you love about Maine? The people. I have found Mainers to be kind and warm from the get-go. Strangers strike up conversations with me in grocery checkout lines and while waiting for the bus. Things like that just don’t happen where I grew up.

What’s something unexpected about you?  I perform slam poetry and have placed 2 out of 3 times in UMaine slams (1st and 3rd).

How would you describe yourself in just three words? Often too honest.

What would you consider your biggest accomplishment? Graduating from UMaine with my BA.

What company are you working for? The Northern Maine Distilling Company
