We’ve asked Annie a few questions to help everyone get to know her a little better. Make sure to connect with Annie on LinkedIn and send her a note to say Congrats!

If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
Flying. I think it would be so cool to be able to go anywhere, anytime. 

What’s one hill you’re willing to die on? Maybe an unpopular opinion that you will undoubtedly stand behind.
Pineapple on pizza. Some things are just better together.   

What is one food that you couldn’t live without?
Peanut butter. Enough said. 

What do you love to do when you’re not at work?
I love to bake! I also play piano and am a self-taught guitarist. I also grew up by a lake and like to do watersports like wakeboarding and waterskiing. I got up on my first pair of skis (with a little help) right before my third birthday!

What is the best show on Netflix/TV?
Modern Family. 

If you could travel anywhere tomorrow with no monetary restrictions, where would you go and why?
Alaska. I think it would be such a cool trip and I’ve never been. I’d love to go see the mountains and all of the wildlife!

What excites you the most about working at Transistor?
I’m really excited to learn more about SEO and take on new challenges. 

Is there anything else we should know about Annie?
I love animals. If I could have any pet it would be a german shepherd or a little monkey. Fun fact - When I was little I had a pet duck named Lucky!
