Hobbies and Interests

My hobbies represent a blend of culinary exploration, nature appreciation, and active living. While I enjoy cooking and experimenting with diverse recipes, I humorously admit my baking skills are a work in progress, often leading to more laughs than successful pastries. The landscapes of middle Tennessee serve as my playground for hiking, with trails leading to breathtaking waterfalls or scenic overlooks that offer a sense of discovery and renewal. I've recently taken up pickleball, embracing the challenge with enthusiasm despite being a novice. This hobby not only adds a fun and active component to my life but also underscores my appreciation for continuous learning and the importance of persistence.

As the annual team leader for Nashville's Race for the Cure, I organize and lead efforts to support breast cancer research and awareness. My role focuses on rallying community support, coordinating fundraising activities, and promoting participation. This experience underscores my dedication to health advocacy and my ability to engage and unite people for a common cause.
