I thrive on solving challenges and making things run smoother. Outside of work, I coach my daughters’ soccer team—our weekends are fueled by game schedules, sideline cheers, and team spirit. We go where the soccer is. I’m also the home chef. Crunchwraps? We make our own version. I love testing new recipes, dialing in flavors, and leveling up my cooking skills. At the end of the day, I believe life is better measured by experiences, not stuff.
