LISTENING: “Love podcasts — ‘Planet Money’ and ‘Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!’ (podcast and NPR). Listen to a lot of Latin music: Shakira (now into pop but prefer Shakira’s older indie).”
WATCHING: “‘Hijack’ with Idris Elba (Apple TV) — it’s a thriller, and I like thrillers! I also like watching comedy too. And I’ve been watching ‘Physical,’ a dark comedy (Apple TV). It’s set in the ’80s where a woman battles her inner voice and finds strength in the aerobics movement.”
READING: “‘Lessons in Chemistry’ by Bonnie Garmus, and listening on Audible to ‘The 5AM Club’ (numerous authors).”
SOMETHING PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU OR YOUR CAREER: “I helped promote the first car insurance company in Bolivia. More recently, I won the ‘2023 Enterprising Women Award.’ (It’s an organization that connects women entrepreneurs globally.)”
WHAT YOU ENJOY THE MOST ABOUT MARBLEHEAD: “I think it’s the people and the beauty.”
