I enjoy exploring and finding places "off the beaten path." I love to travel and experience new things. My favorite place is anywhere on the water, boating or by the ocean. One thing I like most about shopping is never knowing what you are going to find. I like to dig through the items and find all of the "hidden gems." That is one of the reasons why I love working for Shipt. It is always so interesting to me to see what other consumers are purchasing and eating.
