Fun Facts
Your Desired Superpower... The ability to pause time so I can catch up, reset, or just enjoy an extra moment with my husband and daughters.
Desired Wish from a Genie... A fully funded “life cushion” - enough to take risks and travel but never stress about surprise expenses again.
The Best Thing in the Whole Wide World... A slow morning with good coffee, sunshine through the window, and my kitty on my lap.
Guilty Pleasures... Buying organizational tools I absolutely don't need, anything chocolate, and an afternoon nap.
Ideal Escape... Somewhere warm and sunny with no schedules and my girls and husband at my side.
Two Interesting Facts...
- I'm left-handed so I've mastered the art of figuring out how to reverse engineer everything designed for a right-handed world. I refuse to use left-handed scissors because I've become so good at adapting that I can't figure out how to make the left-handed scissors work.
- This summer my family curated a 5000 square foot garden at our home featuring 15 varieties of zinnias and sunflowers and attracting dozens of hummingbirds and pollinators. We estimate we produced 25,000+ blooms during our growing season!
My Favorite Things Include...
TV Series: Any period piece on Netflix
Music/Artist: While I have a list of artists I listen to on repeat, my musical taste is eclectic and constantly rotating through a broad range of styles and eras to match my mood or the season
Sport Team: My girls and the sports teams they are on! As a former collegiate softball player, I also find myself deeply immersed in the Women's Softball College World Series each year.
Ice Cream Flavor: chocolate espresso
Color: All of them!
Book: Professionally, the book that stays with me the most is "Switch" by Chip and Dan Heath. I read this years ago and my mind still calls back concepts from it. Personally - Killing England from the Killing Series by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Duggard

Hobbies: Gardening, spending time with my pets, and anything with sun and water (swimming, kayaking, boating, and sailing)
