Interesting tidbits about Anita
What strengths or unique talents do you bring to IN?
I'm a naturally curious person, and love learning new things. My inquisitive nature and ability to "connect the dots" help me to find the right solutions for our clients.

How did you get interested in your current line of work?
From the time I was a little kid, my sister and I loved making up TV commercials. We could entertain ourselves for hours on end! In 9th grade, my English class did an advertising unit and I was hooked from that point on.

If you had to eat the same food/meal everyday for the rest of your life what would it be?
Salad (no iceberg lettuce though!) My husband calls me a salad snob, and he's definitely got me pegged.

What are you IN to?
Great conversation, laughter, a good book, golf, family times, board games, brain teasers, long walks, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, grilling out, bonfires, Northern Minnesota in the fall, new experiences and old friends.

What is your favorite word? Least Favorite?
Favorite: Serendipitous. It's just so fun to say! Least Favorite: No.

What is your favorite song to karaoke?
"These Boots are Made for Walkin" - I don't even need the lyrics screen.
