Dev by profession and hobby. Not a ton of time for hobbies these days though! Mom of two young kids. Also really into dog training (agility, nose-work, advanced obedience, etc) & reading fiction. 😃
Someone once told me that if you want to do well, behave in a way that makes your boss's job easier. A bit open ended but this advice has definitely affected the way I work.
