Get to know Mariah

Favorite restaurant: 

While it's not necessarily a specific restaurant, my absolute favorite food is all-things-BBQ; pulled pork, mac & cheese, baked beans, cornbread, brisket -- I'm always in the mood for all of this!

Ideal day off from work:

Is "doing nothing" an appropriate answer? I like to turn my alarm off, have a slow morning, read whatever book I’m on, and spend the day with my husband (he works nights!).

One thing you do every weekend without fail: 

Clean my house! I love using the weekends to reset for the week to come.

Always start the work day with:

Breakfast + a book!

Best book you've ever read / Books you’ll always recommend: 

My all-time favorite series are Fourth Wing, American Royals, and Harry Potter. A few others I would recommend are: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides and The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren. I love anything from Taylor Jenkins Reid or Freida McFadden, too!

My college degree is in:

Fashion Merchandising.

Favorite travel spot to-date: 

Honestly, I'm not a big traveler. I’m more of a homebody but my husband and I enjoy our once-a-year all-inclusive trip to a tropical place. We’ve been to Aruba, Punta Cana twice, and Curacao!

Professional advice you were once given that you'd continue to give to others:

You do not know everything.
