About Me
As a big lover of the outdoors I try to get outside whenever I'm not working. I bike, hike, kayak, swim, snorkel and practice yoga.I have completed four sprint triathlons and plan on training for a few more 5 and 10k races. On the weekends, I love to relax with a book in my hammock, or over a meal I've cooked with friends and a big bottle of wine.

When I'm not at home, I'm traveling in another exotic location. Last year I took a trip to Japan and Florida and Bonaire. This year is a camping trip to the national parks of Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyon. Another trip back to South America is also in the works.

I live in the country with my husband, my sweet dog and two harebrained felines.
