If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
I would love to travel to Italy or anywhere with majestic mountains and snow. 

What are your favorite activities when you are not working?
I love exercising, relaxing on a beach, traveling, playing golf, bicycling, and exploring new places in search for adventure in our RV. 

What’s the first career you dreamed of having when you were a child?
Absolutely a teacher! I began teaching stuffed animals and my little brother as early as I can remember. One of my favorite childhood memories is getting to choose a book from my library for my dad to read to me each night. I’ve always loved learning and sharing knowledge with others.
