How do you “Have Fun Working Hard®”?

I Have Fun Working Hard® by being in the office and trying to increase the volume whenever possible! Nothing makes me happier than hearing the buzz in the office and being a part of it. Celebrating employees’ success with a deal song or a chant will never get old.

What is your favorite way to get involved at ALKU?

My favorite way to get involved at ALKU is by participating in our ERGs and helping to support ALKU’s DE&I initiatives. As a member of ALKU’s DE&I Team and Unity and State of Mind ERGs, these groups have made me feel closer to my coworkers and the company.

What is your day-to-day life like outside of ALKU?

Outside of ALKU, I love checking out new restaurants around Boston and traveling whenever possible. At home, I have two Labradoodles, Frankie and Tyson. A fun fact about me is that I am obsessed with space; if there is a crazy night sky, you can find me outside with my telescope!
