One word my co-workers would use to describe me
Innovative
Cats or Dogs?
Definitely dogs - ideally black, white, and smooshy faced. I have a French Bulldog, Gatsby, and a Boston Terrier, Phoebe.
My biggest pet peeve
Oranges. I don't like the taste, smell, or texture, but I'm ok with the color orange.
