Childhood dream job
I was obsessed with medical dramas when I was a kid and had always dreamed of becoming a medical doctor. In pursuit of that dream, I eventually became an accountant.
favorite sports teams
My husband is a football fan, and I watch with him occasionally. Therefore, his teams became mine (sort of): Penn State, Steelers and the 49ers. I enjoy watching tennis, swimming and diving a lot.
