What are you currently reading?
The Cuban Heiress by Chanel Cleeton. I like historical fiction set in other parts of the world. I hope to visit Cuba one day!
What are you currently binge watching? Do you have a comfort show/ movie that you love to rewatch?
My comfort show I re-watch over and over again is definitely The Office Superfan Episodes. I love comedies like Parks and Rec, Arrested Development, Modern Family and The Good Place.
What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekends?
My weekends are spent with my family: my husband and two wild boys, ages eight and five-years-old. We go to their sports games, they’re currently playing baseball, we like to go to the beach and try out new restaurants in our town. I am also a member at a boot camp-type gym, so I go there a lot as well.
What is the farthest place you’ve traveled (or would like to travel to one day)?
I love traveling! Prior to having kids, I spent a lot of time traveling when I lived in Germany. My husband and I have traveled all over Europe, Israel, Morocco and Turkey when we lived overseas. In my current role, I conduct site visits in places like Korea, Japan, Hawaii and Europe.
Do you have any pets? Tell us about what quirky personality traits your animals have!
I have a cat named Lucky, who is an indoor/outdoor cat. He is such a funny cat! We have seen him chase several foxes off our property and swim in our pond! He brings in squirrels, lizards and even a few snakes! We also have 10 chickens, six of those chickens we hatched from eggs in an incubator!
