Other Interests

  • What is your favorite way to spend free time? Hiking, exercising, and reading. Always looking for an enjoyable way to spend time outdoors in Central Ohio!
  • What is your favorite book? The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The story is so vast, there are new things to pick up each time you read it!
  • What was your favorite vacation? With apologies to my fellow Buckeye fans, really enjoyed kayaking, swimming, and hiking in Northern Michigan. The Outer Banks with my extended family is right up there too!
