Tell us about your life outside of work (family/pets/sports/activities/interests/hobbies)
I enjoy hiking, playing a variety of board and card games, and spending time with family and friends. I recently adopted a black cat named Keena through Heaven Can Wait Animal Haven and entertaining her is where a lot of my free time goes. I also love the Fall season and enjoy activities such as apple picking and pumpkin picking.
