Outside of work, you’ll probably find me moving 🏃♀️ and grooving 💃around the mountains: running, rock climbing, skiing, and camping. I also love to take advantage of all our community has to offer: our fabulous coffee shops, gyms, and local parks. In my downtime (and sometimes with clients!) I find joy in volunteering, playing board games, and creating artwork. I’m incredibly grateful to my partner, family, friends, teachers, coworkers, and employers for encouraging me on this journey every step of the way 👣.
