Family: I have a fantastic husband who is a dedicated entrepreneur (RhoAI, MC10), two curious sons who are fascinated by volcanoes, and a dog who can sneeze on command.
Interests: I was a CASA volunteer, ardent intramural participant, and nighttime cross-stitcher before having children. Now I encourage my sons to be active and thoughtful with Kids Give Back and I find myself attending just about every family friendly community event around, including Carver Rec events, Northside library classes, truck touches, Fun Runs at Pen Park, and all the other amazing things we offer children in our community.
