Interests
Outside of work, I'm all about fun and adventure! I love diving into a good book and getting lost in different worlds. Hiking and exploring the great outdoors are my go-to activities for a dose of fresh air and excitement. My dog and I are inseparable—we love playing, walking, and having little adventures together. Spending time with friends, sharing laughs, and making memories always brighten my days. These cherished connections keep me happy, balanced, and ready for whatever life throws my way!
