Q: What do you like the most about OfficeKey so far?
A: We initially joined for the multi-location resources, the professional environment, and the welcoming staff. Since joining, we’ve learned that other tenants are entrepreneurial, friendly and approachable – it is a great work environment.
Q: How do you spend your time outside of work?
A: I am a recent empty-nester, so I am still adjusting to that. I am an avid networker, I give away a lot of my time in volunteering and I spend a lot of time researching nutrition and non-traditional medicine.
Q: Do you have a favorite quote?
A: “You miss 100% of the shots you do not take.”

A: Avocados (organic), bacon (uncured, nitrate free), coconut oil (non-GMO), Pellegrino
Q: Which OfficeKey Location do you think has the best dining options close by?
