Q: If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?

A: I would be a dolphin. Dolphins are intelligent, social, curious, and highly collaborative. Qualities that resonate with both my personality and my work. They are known for building strong connections, communicating effectively, and approaching life with a sense of playfulness and adventure. I believe meaningful work and a sense of humor can coexist, and dolphins remind me of the importance of balancing responsibility with joy. They are adaptable, resilient, and thrive through connection with others. Plus, who wouldn’t want the ocean as their playground?
