I think bink is a special place to work because:

“bink has given me countless opportunities to grow my skills and career after taking a chance on me when I had more energy than experience. Beyond my own journey, bink is a place where we bring true value to our clients, which is a gift in a world with endless noise.”

I could talk for hours about:

“I love linguistics and find the study of language and its constantly evolving nature endlessly fascinating. I’m very fun.”

“On an ideal Saturday, you’ll find me with my wild daughters in nature, gardening, roller skating or riding bikes around our neighborhood. More typically, I’m carting them around to birthday parties and sports.”
