ABOUT ME

I'm honest and enjoy when other people are candid as well. I enjoy hearing peoples stories and am fascinated by the differences and similarities between people. Culture fascinates me so I hope to experience a great deal of it in my life. I'm married to a wonderful French man. We speak a mix of English and French in our home. Someday, I hope to learn a new language.

Interests

I'm an occupational therapist, so I work with people with disabilities of varying types. I believe in working to help people be as independent as possible, whether they are preschoolers learning to be in social situations or older adults wishing to remain living at home.

In my personal life, I'm thrilled by the richness of our everyday environment; the brilliant colors of flowers that I may see on walks with my dog, or the bite of a spicy home cooked meal. I love music, traveling, food, and nature. Most weekends, I spend hiking with my husband and dog. Photography has always been an interest of mine. I love sharing stories through conversations about photos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Before I graduated college I worked at a therapeutic horseback riding center where people with disabilities (autism, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy etc.) had sessions with an occupational therapist and volunteers. At this time, being witness to the learning and happiness that took place in the arena left me awestruck. That feeling remains every time I see a session in a barn.
