small talk

I have a distinct accent and wear it proudly [ I was born and raised in Cyprus, and spent half my adult life in NY ].

Changing career paths in my forties was almost as terrifying as jumping out of a plane ( tried skydiving once, not exactly my cup of tea, but hey, at least I can say I've taken the plunge!).

Formality is not my strong suit. I believe in fostering comfortable and genuine connections, free from unnecessary stiffness.

I research obsessively.  Google ought to hire me.

I am terrible at small talk. [ read above, point proven]
