What’s on your bucket list? Bhutan is tops. New Zealand and I are destined to be good friends someday, with visits to Bali and Australia as part of the journey. When it comes to travel, I could go on … and on …

What words would you use to describe yourself? Optimist. Word nerd. Compassionate. Dedicated. Grateful. Happy.

Fun Fact? I’ve seen the show Hamilton: An American Musical 26 times, including Broadway, Chicago, London’s West End, and Puerto Rico. I had the privilege of meeting the genius behind the phenomenon, Lin-Manuel Miranda (I’ll happily show you the pic!). No matter your musical or theatrical preferences, Hamilton is a great piece of art!
