What are your interests outside of work?
I enjoy hiking, playing with my dog, going on long walks on the beach, eating at good restaurants, and traveling when I can.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?
Going on walks. Nature and fresh air are very soothing for me.
What book have you read more than once?
I enjoy anything by Kurt Vonnegut and have pretty much read all of his books multiple times. I enjoy his wit, writing style, and the humanity in his characters.
Favorite organization/non-profit?
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). I have worked closely with NAMI and have witnessed firsthand the powerful advocacy and support that they provide to individuals, families, and providers.
How do you recharge?
