What are your interests outside of work?
Outside of my professional self, I love creative arts, reading, running, and spending time with my loved ones.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?
I practice self-care by exercising, eating healthy, journaling, and listening to music.
What book have you read more than once?
Several books by Jodi Picoult because of the morality and social concepts she writes about. I learn something new about people and life every time I read them. It opens my mind to new ways of thinking.
