On a more personal note...
I enjoy spending my non-working hours with my family. I am happily married to my husband and I'm a proud mama to one son and a yellow lab. I feel grounded when I am in nature, and I make it a priority to spend time outside everyday, regardless of the season. I can often be found exploring local hiking trails, camping in Wisconsin State Parks, snowshoeing in the winter, gardening, cooking, and visiting local restaurants. I enjoy travel and visiting different states and countries whenever I have the opportunity.
