Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit. Can you tell us a bit about how you grew up?
I grew up in a suburb on the northwest side of Chicago. Now looking back on this time, I feel I lived a very ordinary life with parents who deeply cared for me (in their own ways) but who had many of the same struggles I have experienced with my own family. I was an “only child” with a tendency to be introverted, which makes my life and career now even more surprising.
