CLAIM TO FAME:
Being featured on various sewing tutorials reaching thousands of DIY’ers around the world! The tutorials take you step-by-step sewing products such as: baby bandana bibs, baby t-shirts, pajama pants, and face masks – all found on Spoonflower’s Youtube channel!

YOU HAVE CONTROL OF THE OFFICE PLAYLIST- WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING?
I’m currently taking Spanish language classes at a local college so my playlist is filled with a lot of Latin American musicians to help me channel the native tongue! Shout out to Chancha Via Circuito & Mateo Kingsman!

THE OFFICE OR PARKS & REC?
Parks & Rec

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO OUTSIDE WORK?
Outside of work I enjoy doing all things DIY such as sewing & filming/editing music videos, staying active rollerblading and trail jogging, and enjoying quality time with my small group of friends.

PANCAKES OR WAFFLES?
Pancakes

WHO OR WHAT INSPIRES YOU THE MOST?
I’m inspired by people who take charge of their life and better themselves despite various obstacles life throws at them. Life is worth living, but not without the hard work it takes to feel whole. You may not be able to move mountains but you can climb them, one step at a time.

WHAT COULD YOU GIVE A 30 MINUTE PRESENTATION ABOUT WITH NO ADVANCE PREPARATION
Sewing – my Ted Talk on why everyone should learn the skill and how you can implement it in your daily life!

SOMETHING YOU LEARNED IN THE LAST MONTH?
How to sew one of our most popular patch types – PVC! The seasoned sewists here at CPH make it looks easy but truly it’s a very tricky patch to sew. Learning from the best y’all, taking it day by day!

FAVORITE THING ABOUT WORKING AT CPH
Love, love, love working with my diverse team, all of whom are talented sewists from around the world. Working at CPH I’ve gotten to taste traditional Egyptian and Latin American foods, one word – delicious!
