Interests

Outside of my professional job, I practice Bikram Yoga 4 days a week. I am passionate about gardening and have a collection of over 50 house plants and a food garden. In addition, I backpack and hike with friends as I love to be outdoors and move my body. I also very much enjoy spending time cooking for friends and socializing with them several times a week.
