By Allison King on 7/6/17 9:32 AM

The Monthly Review spotlights a different URACer each month in a Q&A. This month it's Peggy Reed, who has been with URAC for nearly five years.

Peggy's Collage (004).jpgTMR: When did you start at URAC and what brought you here? 
Peggy Reed: I started in November 2013.  I recently moved back to the US from abroad and wanted to work for a smaller organization.

TMR: Describe yourself in three words. 
Peggy Reed: Big Wildlife Lover!!

TMR: Where did you grow up?   
Peggy Reed: The Village of Gibsonburg, OH. Yes village, it is not even big enough to be classified as a town.

TMR: What’s your favorite restaurant? 
Peggy Reed: My favorite restaurant isn’t technically considered a restaurant, but more of a place and it serves some of my favorite food in the whole world. Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safari camps in Sri Lanka.

TMR: What as the last movie you saw? 
Peggy Reed: If we are talking new releases, I think XXX Return of Xandar Cage, it was on a plane so not sure which movie I watched at the end of the trip.

TMR: What book do you currently have on your nightstand? 
Peggy Reed: The latest Cotton Malone series by Steve Berr.

TMR: Where did you go on your last vacation? 
Peggy Reed: Kabini, India.

TMR: Are you a cat person or a dog person? 
Peggy Reed: I am actually both. I grew up with dogs and owned dogs most of my life, but I am now the proud mom of three Bengal cats who would plot my demise if I brought a dog in the house.
