In her free time….

I enjoy my mornings and waking up with the sun each day. I start each morning with meditation, movement and journaling, setting a positive tone for my day. I enjoy a variety of physical activities, from high-intensity workouts like cycling, running and kickboxing to the tranquility of Barre and yoga. Nature holds a special place in my heart, and I cherish sunny days, fresh air and the changing of seasons. I love watching my husky play outside, going for walks, and enjoy a good laugh with friends and family. Music is a constant source of inspiration, expression and motivation as I love to listen to a variety of different genres. I love trying new things and learning, whether it’s through reading or exploring new experiences. Continuous growth- mind, body and soul is essential to me and I prioritize activities that bring me joy, gratitude, and fulfillment in life.
