Get to know Cecilia
What’s your all-time favourite movie, TV show, or book?
There are many. One that I can recommend to most people is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It’s a whimsical movie about stepping outside of the ordinary into the "what if" daydreams, and shows how taking small steps beyond your comfort zone can put you on the path to a great adventure. The soundtrack is also 10/10.
What’s your favourite invention or innovation?
Google maps. I am lost without it.
What would you do with an hour of unexpected free time?
Take a walk – I find after a walk is when I have the most mental clarity and it helps me hit reset.
