Get to Know Me

What are your interests outside of work?

Outside of work, I enjoy spending my time outdoors (hiking, beach lounging, biking, snowboarding, offroading, etc), reading, strength training, baking, attending concerts, traveling, and being with my loved ones.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?

I make sure to practice daily mindfulness meditations, stretch, and connect with loved ones daily as a way to support my mental health.

Do you have any pets?

I have a pup and my favorite memory with her is paddle boarding at the river. She is a toy breed, but she LOVES the water and is up for adventure!
