I am an avid reader and have been my entire life. As a child, we traveled by car a lot, that meant there was a lot of time to use while in a confined space. That time created many fond memories of learning to needlepoint, draw, and reading a lot of books, among other activities.

I grew up in MN but in early 2017, I moved to the East Coast to work for the national association of my industry. I believe I have the best job because I get to spend every day working with people teaching and influencing their futures. Helping them discover new opportunities and changing the way they think about their industry is extremely rewarding and challenging as a career. I read a wide variety of subjects from romance to leadership to culture influences. Reading, it’s my passion, it’s my release, it’s my way to relax, it’s my self-development
