Get to Know Me

What are your interests outside of work?

I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my dogs. I love all kinds of food and am constantly seeking new places to try.

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

Sitting in silence, away from technology and noise and engaging in intentional, meaningful introspection.

How do you recharge?

Travel and relaxing activities. I make sure to carve out time in the year for day trips, domestic, and international travel, which help me to recharge. Relaxing activities such as massages and biking are great tools for recharging as well.

Do you have any pets?

I have 3 dogs. My oldest dog was not doing well a few years ago, but we got a puppy and it seemed to have given him new life. He is about 19 years old now and he still has a lot of energy!
