Cathy McDonough with a frogWhat is your favorite way to relax, unwind, and recharge?
I love to read, play video games, and take my dog on hikes.

What movie, television show, play/musical would you recommend to others?
I love adventure movies like “Indiana Jones” and “Jurassic Park,” and TV shows like “X-Files” and “What We Do in the Shadows.” The best musical I've ever seen is “Bat Boy” — hilarious from start to finish!

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt and/or what did originally want to be when you grew up?
Before HMS, I worked as a zookeeper, which was a lot of fun. I've done field work in both biology and archaeology. Next, I'd like to try paleontology.

What are you currently reading or, what is your favorite book of all time?
My favorite book of all time is “Of Mice and Men,” and I'm currently reading “Lost City of the Monkey God.” I enjoy fiction novels, but if I'm reading non-fiction, I prefer stories about expeditions and exploration.
