F&A Q&A
This week's Q&A is with Kate Koser, FirstSource professional in the ASK Center.

What advice would you give to someone just starting their career?
I would say, feel excited! It is easy to worry about what-ifs and if you aren’t feeling like a rockstar yet. But, if you wake up and think, I am going to rock today and it might sound silly, give yourself a high five in the mirror, it’s hard not to laugh and find enjoyment. It is a great way to start your day and catapult yourself into your career, with confidence and resilience.
What is your favorite thing to do on the weekends?
This is a tough one. It really depends on the weather! If it’s nice outside, my husband and I love to take my 14-month-old daughter on long walks, play in the garden, or in this season, splash in the mud! But, if it is cold and gloomy, I love to sit down with a warm cup of coffee and cuddle up while watching our favorite show together, Bluey.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
Oh, this is a great question. I think out of any superpower, I would have superhuman strength (or energy). I would love to be able to have a total sense of independence when it comes to getting hard work done, did I mention I have a 14-month-old and a garden?
