We’re trying something new at Brookhaven, we’re going to highlight a staff member with every newsletter! For this first round we thought we’d ask some icebreaker questions.
Hello everyone! My name is Alice and I’ve been working at Brookhaven since 2017. My role has shifted recently, for the first year I was working at the front desk as an administrative assistant. In recent months I’ve been transitioning more into marketing. On my days off you can probably find me downtown with my toddler Cedar, trying to keep him occupied enough to sneak in a few rows of knitting. Alternatively, I’ll be at home on my couch with Cedar and Steele, my partner. Let’s get into these questions!
Ask Alice
-
What is one article of clothing that someone could wear that would make you walk out on a date with them?
Crocs, definitely. Especially if they’re paired with socks. Honestly, dating seems exhausting and I’m relieved to be happily married.
-
The zombie apocalypse is coming, who are 3 people you want on your team?
My mom, she knows all of the natural herbal remedies. Anyone who can garden. Anyone who can fight.
-
What is your most used emoji?
I have a highly entertaining toddler, so probably the *crying laughing face*😂
-
What was the worst style choice you ever made?
In middle school there was a weird trend where everyone wore t-shirts under camisoles. Not my best look.
-
What was the worst haircut you ever had?
Words won’t suffice here.
-
Who was your childhood actor/actress crush?
Matt Damon
-
If you were a wrestler what would be your entrance theme song?
“Barracuda” by Heart
-
Have you ever been told you look like someone famous, who was it?
I’ve never been told I look like someone famous, but I do get that I have a “familiar face.”
-
If you could bring back any fashion trend what would it be?
A lot of my favorite 90’s trends are coming back! I’m thinking specifically about those adorable floral babydoll dresses, or the floral button-up dresses. For the more masculine among us, I would definitely bring back three-piece suits for every day.
-
What’s the most embarrassing fashion trend you used to rock?
I used to do really weird things to my hair, like really dark underneath and bleached on top. I also had a totally bleach blonde side streak at one point.
-
What did you name your first car?
Deborah/Debbie
-
Does your current car have a name? What is it?
“Dear God, Please Don’t Break Down Right Now” It’s a 2006 Prius that has seen better days, but serves us well.
-
You have your own late night talk show, who do you invite as your first guest?
Chrissy Tiegen
-
If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?
Realistically, it would probably be a drama, but in my dreams it’d be a Wes Anderson movie. Ideally, Marian Cotillard.
-
If you were famous, what would you be famous for?
Being a pushover.
-
You have to sing karaoke, what song do you pick?
The only time I sang karaoke I think I picked Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” & it didn’t go well.
-
What was your least favorite food as a child? Do you still hate it or do you love it now?
Celery. Still hate & avoid it at all costs.
-
If you had to eat one meal everyday for the rest of your life what would it be?
Roasted Asparagus with quinoa & tofu scramble.
-
If you were left on a deserted island with either your worst enemy or no one, which would you choose? Why?
My worst enemy. I am really, really, really bad at being by myself.
-
If aliens landed on earth tomorrow and offered to take you home with them, would you go?
Honestly, at the current rate of climate change, I would probably go with them if their planet were livable and I could take my family.
