Interests

Outside of work, I’m an avid reader, striving to read 100+ books a year. I dive into a variety of topics, from mental health and personal growth to psychological thrillers and just about anything that sparks my curiosity. I also cherish spending quality time with the people who bring me joy and happiness, whether it's sharing laughs or quiet moments together playing games. Being outdoors in nature is my happy place, where I feel recharged and connected. I also have a love for plants and creativity, whether it’s tending to my growing collection of plants or exploring new artistic outlets. I also enjoy spending time with my pets and am training my newest dog to be therapy certified!
