I love to travel – whether just driving to a nearby state or flying across the Atlantic to Europe. There is so much world out there, and exploring new places and experiencing other cultures brings me so much joy. The cherry on top is traveling with my family.

I also love dogs. In my dreams, my “second career” involves having a sprawling ranch where I take in and care for pups in need of a home.
