In November of last year (2019).

What is your role at TrustedHousesitters?

I'm the Product Manager for Member Experience. My role is creating a product (website and mobile application) that is valuable, usable and feasible for all members.

Do you have any pets? (If not, are you a cat, dog, or any animal person?)

 Yes, two miniature dachshunds named Billy & Bear.

If you could house sit anywhere in the world, where would it be? 

Vermont & Massachusetts, as I love the outdoors, animals, craft beer and maple syrup. 

Where was the last place you visited?

The last place I visited was Ile De Re in France, it was a great family holiday of swimming in the sea, biking around the Island and eating croissants.

What’s your top bucket list destination?

Safari in South Africa.

Stop time.
