Her interests include reading, acrylic painting and cooking. On the weekends, you can find her gathering fresh market items for a cookout with neighbors or coaching her girls’ volleyball teams. She enjoys traveling, especially when there is an opportunity to work alongside local volunteers for the benefit of education or animal welfare. It was during a volunteer trip to Thailand that she realized the depth of her passion for working with people who love animals as much as she does.
