Hobbies and Interests
I love to travel. It always involves meeting new people and listening to new perspectives and experiences. Part of the reason I got into sales. New stories everyday. I have a passion for thrifting new items (apparel and furniture alike). Big family gal and spend time at the cabin as much as I can.
