The Monthly Review spotlights a different URACer each month in a Q&A. This month it's Haley Santos, who has been with URAC since June of this year.

TMR: When did you start at URAC and what brought you here? 
Haley Santos: I started working at URAC in June of this year after I graduated college. I love all things English-major-related and healthcare as well, but I can’t do math or science without burning off several thousand brain cells. Luckily, URAC provides an excellent, STEM-unrelated compromise.

TMR: Describe yourself in three words. 
Haley Santos: Goofy, driven, animal-lover

TMR: Where did you grow up?   
Haley Santos: Franklin County, VA – right outside of Roanoke. It’s the kind of town where people take full morning/afternoon trips to the grocery store (closest to my house is about 30 min away).

TMR: What’s your favorite restaurant? 
Haley Santos: The Cheesecake Factory

TMR: What was the last movie you saw? 
Haley Santos: The Zookeeper's Wife

TMR: What book do you currently have on your nightstand?  
Haley Santos: Madame Bovary

TMR: Where did you go on your last vacation? 
Haley Santos: Hawaii (the Big Island)

TMR: Are you a cat person or a dog person? 
Haley Santos: I have babies of both species, so I’m not allowed to say. Hypothetically, if you were to guess dogs while my super sneaky, super finnicky cat wasn’t around, I might nod my head.

TMR: Is there anything else that you would like us to know about you?  
Haley Santos: I love writing and baking!
