Meet the new member of our team!

Hello everyone! My name is Andrea and I am a new intern at Monar Consulting. I’m currently finishing up my first year at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology studies Industrial Organization Psychology. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology.  I tend to be rather quiet and reserved upon meeting people but once I’ve gotten to know you, watch out! I’m very nerdy and quirky with a passion for laughter.  Here is a little insight into my life.

1. What was your childhood nickname, and why?

When I was a child my younger brother used to call me “Sis,” like sister. It primarily came about because he had a hard time pronouncing my name, and it just stuck. It never really bother me until he was well into elementary school, and clearly knew how to say my name, that I was forced to ignore him until he broke his habit of calling me “Sis” instead of Andrea.

2. What do you like to munch on at the movie theater?

When I am at the movie theater I like to munch on something sweet… and that is preferably chocolate. I have a sweet tooth with a mind of its own, so no matter what the situation (movie theater or not) I will have these unrelenting cravings for chocolate. In the event there is no chocolate within a half-mile radius I will usually settle on a stick of gum.

3. What did you want to be when you grew up?

I always wanted to be a performer most specifically a singer. However after being involved in school choir for over 4 year I suddenly developed a severe case of stage freight and I’ve never looked back.
4. Who has inspired you the most in your life, and why?

My grandma has inspired me the most. She was such a wonderful person who saw people as they are without judgment. I think that quality can be really hard to find, so I strive to be like she was by maintaining an open mind and heart free of judgment. I think that quality has allowed to me meet a lot of people that I would not have normally had a change to know.

5. If you were an animal, what would you be?

I would most definitively be a cat, if I were an animal. I love cats and it is my secret dream to grow old and have a house full of cats.
