Outside of work, I love being in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, whether it’s breathing in the fresh air of a forest, walking on the Burke-Gilman Trail, biking, or kayaking and paddle boarding. Peaceful mornings and evenings on my patio, surrounded by my garden, are among my favorite ways to unwind. As an animal lover, I’m the person who asks to pet your dog at the farmers market or waves at your cat when I see them watching me through the window.
