Interests

I am always seeking ways to be outside! I enjoy taking my two dogs out as much as possible, and we hike weekly. I enjoy paddleboarding, longboarding, and pickleball. Disc golf is a new hobby I’m getting into with my husband. I like to see live music and comedy shows and embrace any opportunity for a social gathering, where I love to host and cook for friends and family. I also enjoy trying new restaurants and exploring as much as possible.
