My interests outside of work
My husband and I are proud parents of two adult children who have now flown the nest. In my free time, I love being outdoors with my two dogs, whether it’s going camping, boating, or fishing. I also enjoy the peace and creativity of spending time in the garden, as well as sewing, which allows me to express my creative side. Life outside of work is all about family, nature, and creativity!
