Interests
Living a well-rounded life is something I consistently encourage my clients to do, and I make an effort to practice it myself. Connecting with nature is one of my ultimate grounding necessities. You can often find me running on the trails or enjoying the soothing sounds of the ocean waves at the beach. I cherish the time spent in the company of friends and family. I have a deep appreciation for live music and exploring new culinary food destinations.
