More About Me

Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I love spending time outdoors and exploring new places. I’m passionate about staying active in my community through political involvement and local events, and I enjoy playing sports and going to the gym. At home, you’ll usually find me tending to my yard, doting on my pets, or diving into a craft project—whether that’s sewing, scrapbooking, building miniatures, or making handmade gifts for friends and family.

Here are some photos of some of my favorite places I've been in nature.

My adorable furry friends. Featuring my 3 year old German Shepard, Ghost, my rescue kittens, Climby and Bubba, and my very fluffy donkey, Sadie, who is 11 years old and lives on my parents farm. They keep my on my toes and Ghost is the best hiking partner.

These are a few of my favorite crafts and art projects. I love to make hand-made keepsakes and gifts for my friends and family.
