How long have you lived/worked in Holland? All 23 years!

What besides being HYP do you like to do (hobbies)?
I start grad school this fall, the beach, sailing, interior design, my puppy (Ellie), and hanging out with my husband Nate, family, and friends

What do you like best about HYP, or if you’re a new member, what drew you to HYP?
I like that everyone is so welcoming and that not everyone is a suit and tie professional. I also like the events and now being active on the membership committee.

Our President, Mr. Hill, is a funny guy; he’s like you to tell us a joke. He is always looking to add to his own collection.

Being blonde, I felt a blonde joke would be appropriate…
There was a blonde driving down the road one day. She glanced to her right and noticed another blonde sitting in a nearby field, rowing a boat with no water in sight.

The blonde angrily pulled her car over and yelled at the rowing blonde, “What do you think you’re doing? It’s things like this that give us blondes a bad name. If I could swim, I’d come out there and kick your butt!”
