A Little About Me

❄️

Winter Everything

Snow, skiing, ice skating, cozy layers - winter is truly magical.

🐶

Yoshi

My dog, named after the Nintendo character - and honestly, he kind of looks like him too.

🎭

Arts & Theater

Our Town is my favorite play. Favorite musical? Fiddler on the Roof - it's a close call though.

✈️

Family Travel

My favorite time is exploring new places with my family. That's when it all comes together.
