I studied Spanish from the sixth grade all the way through my senior year in college.  I even spent a semester living with a host family in Spain so that I could improve my skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m passionate about\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nTraveling.  I got my first passport in elementary school and I think I\u2019m now on my fourth one.  I love visiting new countries and staying in unique places.  My husband and I recently traveled to Amsterdam and stayed in a houseboat.  Next up: a tree house, location TBD\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When I\u2019m not at work, you\u2019ll find me\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nShopping!  Being relatively new to New York City means too many stores and too little time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I value most in life is\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nMy relationship with my husband.  I know people always like to say nice things like \u201cThere\u2019s someone perfect out there for everyone\u2026\u201d, but I just never thought that applied to me. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nI was the badminton champ of my high school class.  Not really a useful skill, but it got me an A in gym class, which is more than any other sport would\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nJust how un-creative I am.  This place is full of amazingly creative and interesting people.  Definitely an inspirational environment!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you rather\u2026be a twin at birth, or clone yourself now?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019d much rather be a twin at birth.  I have a sister who is only fourteen months older than me, so it\u2019s pretty close to having a twin, but our personalities (or appearances) couldn\u2019t be more different. I even wrote a whole toast (roast) for her wedding about how different we are.  Having a twin who looked and acted similarly to me would be fun at times, but having a sister who\u2019s my opposite keeps things interesting always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Accountant Kathleen Bierer claims to be un-creative, but as she also said she plans to vacation in a treehouse, we don&#8217;t believe her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":136,"featured_media":31447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29425"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/136"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29425"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36034,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29425\/revisions\/36034"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
