Interests
Outside of work, I’m a dedicated binge-watcher with a black belt in BritBox and Acorn TV marathons—if there were awards for “just one more episode,” I’d have a trophy case. I love going to the movies (shoutout to my AMC Stubs A-List for making me feel like a VIP), and I consider myself a pizza enthusiast—thin crust, deep dish, or anything in between; I don’t discriminate. I also love romance novels (thank you, Kindle Unlimited and Kobo Plus, for keeping me well supplied!). I cherish time with family and friends, whether we’re sharing a good meal or debating the best wrestler (Roman Reigns, of course). Napping is my superpower.
