Featured Task Runner

Meet our featured Task Runner for the week, Jessica P.! 

We asked her a couple questions so we could get to know her a little better.

What is your favorite snack?

Anything chocolate. Of course, snacks in general are awesome and I don't discriminate. 

What is one place you hope to travel to someday?

I hope to travel anywhere outside the country. I have never been and would love to have the opportunity one day. For some reason Fiji or New Zealand sticks out in my mind. 

What kind of music gets you motivated to get things done?

I love all kinds of music but hip hop or anything with a lot of bass usually gets me going. I have a nice stereo system in my car so I can play it loud and get myself motivated.

What kind of task(s) could you use help with?

I could use the most help with handyman tasks. I worked in a warehouse for several years so I can get through most things but my confidence isn't there to take on some tasks in that category alone.

What's your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?

I absolutely love horseback riding. It is my happy place. Just being around horses makes my day better. I also love long boarding, skateboarding, snowboarding, and anything having to do with animals.

What is your preferred mode of transportation?

I love driving my car!!! 2006 Subaru wrx. I have had a lot of work done to it so it sounds mean and has the engine to back it up. Plus all wheel drive all the time means I can make it to any task no matter what!

If you could help with any task what task would it be?

I would help with anything but I would love something I haven't done before so I could learn a new task and be more versatile. I hate and love getting outside of my comfort zone. But I catch on quick and am always glad that I tried something new.
