She holds a keen interest in holistic wellness, blending environmental sustainability into healthy daily home routines. She enjoys spending free time with her husband and two young children, mountain biking, gardening, and embracing the intuition, grace, and big-picture perspective symbolized by her favorite animal, the giraffe.
