I'm an introvert who enjoys a slow paced life, so I spend my free time bird watching, visiting local coffee shops and bakeries, teasing my family with puns and wordplay, and painting barn quilts. As a working mom, I recharge by spending time with my family and dogs, crocheting, practicing my cello, and listening to audiobooks. I'm passionate about lifelong learning, social justice, and equal rights. My goal is to put more beauty into the world and make it a better place, one act of goodness at a time.
