Interests & Activities
I enjoy being active and exercising and I start my mornings with strength training and conditioning classes at a workout studio I love. I have 2 kids that keep me very busy with their activities and involvement in sports. My husband and I both love soccer, so watching our kids play this sport is so fun. I also have a love of interior design and enjoy exploring this interest when I have time.
