Away from the office I spend most of my time with my seven amazing teens/young adults who arrived in my life via the foster/adoption system. They have taught me so very much. When not parenting or working, I enjoy photography, reading, gardening, and genuinely filling my life with travel, good food, great friends, laughter and gratitude. Big journeys start with small steps and through my grassroots efforts I am working to build a world where everyone has a place to feel safe, valued, and respected.
