Hobbies, activities, or interests:

My family is everything to me and I spend as much time as I possibly can with my three children. I am an avid animal lover and rescue advocate as well as an adoption coordinator for a local rescue. I have two rescues, "Stella" a Boston Terrier/Boxer mix and "Koda" an Australian Cattle/Lab mix with 3 legs. I also love to travel, I'm an avid reader of psychological thrillers. Music and the ocean are my happy place. Walking brings me peace and I walk for miles daily. I love pickleball and kayaking.

Interesting story or fact about me:

On one of my recent trips to Nashville, I met a group of guys at Logan Airport right before we boarded our flight . They told me they had a band and had just finished a performance at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport. I asked what the name of their band was and they told me that they were "The Temptations". I was obviously having a non-brain working moment when I asked them how they were able to take that name when the real Temptations are still touring. At that moment they gathered around me in the middle of the airport and sang "My Girl" and then asked if we could all take a group picture .
