There are so many things I like! I love the work that we do for children and families, and I love how passionate everyone is about doing that work well. I also appreciate the supportive environment and there are so many opportunities for professional growth and development. I also love that my three year old daughter is right down the hall!
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
Most of my time outside of work is spent hanging out with my daughter, playing, reading, and enjoying the outdoors. I also like hiking and running, which my husband and I often do with our daughter. She's even run a race already!
