| PHILANTROPHIC PASSION | As a former foster parent, I find the community organizations dealing with our local children the most beneficial to our region. |
| STAYING FIT | Traveling is a must for my position, so I try to balance what I eat with active hobbies such as gardening. I also don’t sit still for too long and make sure to walk on the treadmill when possible. |
