PEACEFUL PAINTING TO MUDDIN’ MAYHEM
Getting the work-life balance right is not easy, but Cassandra has two hobbies that help her to blow away the corporate cobwebs.
PAINTING“ Yes, I like to paint, but it’ s not always relaxing. Watercolour is lovely and it’ s relaxing. Oil painting is difficult and I’ m learning and trying to figure it out. So it’ s like relaxing in a weird way. I love doing it, but I’ m on a mission to be a really good oil painter, so I’ ll call that‘ relaxing’.”
MUDDIN’ Given the choice of a favourite EV and a destination, Cassandra would take the Hummer and go“ muddin’” – skidding and doughnutting through thick mud in your vehicle.
She says:“ It would be the Hummer, it would have all the windows down and the top off. My family would be there with me and we would be muddin’ in random places. It’ d be very outdoorsy and in the middle of nowhere and
Cassandra’ s go-to song is Andra Day’ s Rise Up
we would be driving that thing and seeing where we could go and what it could do and adventuring together.”
And the first song to make the speakers shake?“ My go-to whenever I need a‘ let’ s go!’ is Andra Day’ s Rise Up. I love a strong, powerful female voice and with the windows down and just having it belting out, that’ s it. And me singing at the top of my lungs terribly, but just letting it out.”
