On a More Personal Note
When I am away from work I love spending time with my four amazing children. We enjoy being outside hiking and camping. I love to travel and experience new adventures. I have a passion for people and enjoy volunteering with youth, through mentorship programs, coaching sports, and volunteering on school campuses. My faith is an instrumental piece of my life and have been heavily involved in my church community.
