Getting to Know You
If you had a free day to do anything, how would you spend it?
My perfect day would start off with a nice long morning run listening to a good podcast or audiobook! I love spending time with my husband doing anything or nothing at all. You would probably find us out on the lake boating or fishing and then likely ending the day with a fun new restaurant or cooking something new at home!
Characteristic you admire in people?
Authenticity, accountability, and a good sense of humor!
What is one of your actual superpowers?
Planning! I’m such a planner and absolutely love it.
What are some of your hobbies?
I’m a big football fan, so really enjoy watching the Green Bay Packers on Sunday! Go Pack Go! I’m also a big runner and usually run 2 or 3 half marathons a year and completed my very first full marathon in June of 2023! I also love lazy days and getting lost in a good book. I watch Food Network more than I should and really enjoy cooking and trying new things-someday I’ll Beat Bobby Flay!
