Outside of my work, I love to spend time with my husband and two darling daughters. We are living all things elementary school and this phase of life is so busy, so loud, and so fun. It is a part of my practice to take time each day for breath work and movement, especially yoga and barre. I enjoy reading fiction, though, as a working parent of two, that often means reading with my ears, but nothing is better than a novel in my lap. My eldest daughter and I are currently learning to crochet and I love this new skill and space for present connection. My youngest is into coloring and painting and similarly I am soaking up these opportunities for connecting with her amidst the busy schedules of play dates, playgrounds, bike rides, sports and school events. When the calm moments at home pass, we can often be found having a music blasting dance party in the living room.

I am passionate about art. Observing, experiencing, making. Like, thick paint on the canvass, art. In my earlier life, I was a painter by hobby, and I look forward to doing more of that in future phases of life that have more space. My husband and I enjoy seeing live music and listening to records at home. Luckily, I married a connoisseur of obscure bands that feed my need for musical catharsis with very little effort from me. While I am a homebody at heart, we love taking trips near and far and exploring the world together, particularly anywhere we can watch some waves roll in. We are blessed to have much of our extended families nearby and get to spend time with them often.
