Personal Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy reading science fiction dystopian and English romantic comedy novels as well as cookbooks. I also enjoy exploring the world with my husband, playing fetch with my sweet black lab, and gardening.

Volunteer Activities
I am passionate about supporting my community in getting their nutritional and dietary needs met. I have volunteered in several soup kitchens and food banks in the Boulder/Denver area. I have also worked in a couple elementary schools- creating curriculum, materials, and resources to assist elementary students with healthier eating/physical behaviors.
