INTERESTS

Being with family, and particularly, raising my daughter. I also enjoy reading, cooking, traveling, and organizing events and gatherings, and you can often find me trying to figure out how to pair different wines with different foods. I think my dream job would be to work at a vineyard, planning and conducting wine and food tasting events!
