Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I moved to San Diego in the summer of 2005 with the goal of learning to surf. While I never really learned to surf, I did learn the “friend” I moved there with would become my future husband. 

Who would you most like to meet and why?

What is your guilty pleasure? 

Craft beer, coffee, and chocolate. 

Which TV show do you never miss?

My current favorites on Netflix are The Good Place, Pose, and Community. 

What do you most like to do to unwind?

Play with my girls (Sophia age 6 and Madison age 2). There is nothing better for the soul than little kid giggles and squeals of pure happiness. They keep me balanced and grounded.Â
