Q2. Give a back story of how you got hired and how you started with the company.

Q5. What is the best memory you have working at US Mine Corp?

Q6. Give a fun fact about yourself.

• Back in the day I was ranked third in California and Nevada as the Women’s Black Belt in the lightweight division and I held that for two years. These days I enjoy cooking and spending time with family.

Q7. Fun debate: Cats or dogs?

I have both, but I would have to say dogs because they 100% rely on you and no matter what’s going on, they’re always there. Cats have their own personalities.
