Personal Highlights:

My husband and I moved to Winchester in the summer of 2020. We welcomed our daughter, Lilith, in 2022. We also have a small hound dog named Arlo. The area is beautiful! We enjoy the easy access to hiking trails and visiting small towns. I enjoy reading and probably watch too much TV. I like to bake. Fall is my favorite season. If you know where I can find a good chai latte and an almond croissant, please let me know! I have traveled outside of the country and have visited a number of states. I hope to add some new places to my list in the future. I used to play field hockey. A fun fact is that I know how to swing dance! So, if you ever want to learn how to Lindy Hop or Charleston, I’m happy to show you.
