16 Jan What Our Team is Looking Forward to in 2025
As we dive into 2025, our team is buzzing with excitement about what the year will bring. Whether it’s picking up old hobbies, traveling to new places, or hitting fitness milestones, everyone’s looking forward to something special. Here’s a peek at what some of our team members are most excited about in the year ahead!
Farrah Brensinger – Senior User Experience Researcher
Lately, I’ve felt the urge to refine my handwriting. So this year I’m embarking on a journey back to the world of calligraphy. It’s been ages since my elementary school days of swirling letters with a felt-tip pen. Calligraphy offers a good blend of structure and creativity for someone like me who wants to do something artistic but doesn’t want to wade through the indecision of what to draw or paint. I’m imaging practicing the letterforms, a movie soundtrack playlist on loop, a nice cup of tea within arm’s reach, and my fluff ball Bernedoodle at my feet. Bliss!
Allison Caplovitz – Director of Content Research and Evaluation
I am looking forward to the possibility of more travel during the year. In addition, I hope to gain more arm strength by adding weight exercises to my workout routine.
Mona El-Hout– Quantitative Researcher
I’m looking forward to catching up on my arts & crafts projects that I started and never finished, like a painting and some embroidery. I’m also looking forward to doing some travel, visiting family around the world, and watching Wicked Part 2 over Thanksgiving!
Paige Frankovich – Associate Producer
I’m getting married in June! I’m also excited to start volunteering at a local animal rescue.
Amber Gonzalez – Quantitative Researcher
In 2025, I’m excited to try aerial yoga, express myself creatively through painting, travel to new places, and discover new books that I won’t want to put down!
Nellie Gregorian – Quantitative Researcher
I can’t wait to watch the second season of Severance. I love how this mind-bending dystopian fantasy is set in a typical office environment. Wicked! I also have a trip to Jamaica scheduled for spring break. Yay!
Dana Markow – Associate Project Manager
Being better at incorporating exercise and physical activity into my daily routine.
Mary Meyn – Research Director and Chief of Staff
It’s always fun to start a new year and think about what’s possible in the year ahead! In 2025, I am looking forward to trying some new baking recipes. I also recently joined a pickleball league and I’m excited to continue to play and improve my game.
Kelly Sheehan – Senior User Experience Researcher
Exploring more of New England, reading more books, and seeing my little girl turn three!
