I love the beach, but not a crazy busy beach. I like to let my kids roam without having to worry about them getting into a stranger’s beach setup. They aren’t kleptos, but I do have a toddler… haha

A lot of my time is spent as a taxi service for my young kids, which I love - but if I have time, I do enjoy spending it on a golf course.

While many people don’t know this, I began my professional journey as a Flight Attendant with Delta - and as an introvert at heart. When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me at the beach, working out, dining with friends, or cheering on my son at his football practices and games.
