What’s your favorite thing to do outside of work?
I enjoy good food whether I’ve cooked a masterpiece or tried a new restaurant (or old faithful restaurant). I love to travel locally or internationally, I love to learn about different cultures, languages, and people. I enjoy spending time with family and close friends whether it’s catching up over lunch/happy hour, bowling, basketball, tennis, golf, or soccer.

The Mission and the opportunities to work with some great leaders was what drew me to EdTrust.
