About
I love people. Meeting new people and developing relationships energizes me. As a young teenager, I read biographies for fun. Maybe that's why I love history so much--it's the story of people. I had the opportunity to teach high school U.S. History for several years, and I am passionate about inspiring young people to be engaged and involved citizens. I love being a part of helping people experience new places and meet new people because that is the best way for us to learn that, as human beings, our commonalities are so much greater than our differences. When we embrace this outlook, we can build bridges, and all work together to have a positive impact on the world.
Hobbies & Interests
I love spending time outdoors, hiking and walking, and of course traveling and exploring new places. Food is my love language, and I enjoy cooking fresh and flavorful food, and baking treats that make people happy. I am a history nerd, and often spend my free time doing historical research.
Fun Fact
I have a dream of learning Italian.
