It is always nerve-racking coming into a new company and trying to break the ice. Ensuring that new employees feel comfortable is crucial to building a positive transition within a company. We thought it would be fun to ask Annabelle a few questions to get to know her a little better.

Q: What is your greatest travel experience?
A: I went to Peru and spent a month in a half there. I received a truly authentic experience as I stayed with my boyfriend's family in the capital, Lima. While I was there, we traveled to Cusco so I could visit Macchu Picchu! On our travel to Cusco, we had to take multiple trains to get to the actual town of Macchu Picchu. One of the stops while transferring to our next train, was in this tiny town called Ollantaytambo. While I was there we stopped at a quaint family restaurant and had some Pisco sours while waiting for our train. As we were enjoying the drinks, the town was in the middle of celebrating Three Kings Day, or otherwise knowns as La Bajada de Los Reyes Magos. There were fireworks, drinks, and live music everywhere we looked. It felt like I was in a beautiful dream!
Q: Favorite movie?
A: Anything by Wes Anderson or Tim Burton! I love their creative direction.
Q: Guilty pleasure music artist?
