  • Outside of work, I’m a proud mother to a very energetic three-year-old daughter. To keep up with her and maintain my own well-being, I make it a priority to stay active—whether that’s at the gym, out on walks, or engaging in other forms of physical activity. When I’m not exercising, I enjoy spending time in the kitchen exploring nutritious and delicious recipes that my whole family can enjoy together.
