Personal Interests
Most of my free time is spent chasing my two young children with my husband (see proud Mommy photos below), but when I have a few minutes to myself I love to 1) eat (I’m a total foodie!), 2) be active (biking, yoga, and going to the gym…usually in that order), read books (I’ve rediscovered my love for physical copies of books), and watch TV crime dramas (pretty much just NCIS or NCIS Los Angeles) or Dancing with the Stars.
