Beyond my professional passions, I enjoy traveling, being active, and learning new things. I like:
- Hiking and getting outside
- Exploring places that are incredibly old, from Chichen Itza to Angkor Wat
- Reading nonfiction and listening to nerdy podcasts
- Trying out new restaurants or hitting up a good farmers’ market
- Practicing yoga (unsupported handstand, here I come!)
- Cheering on my Wisconsin Badgers
- Taking over a dance floor
- Kayaking in as many lakes and oceans as possible
- Supporting wildlife conservation, particularly elephants
- Volunteering with youth development programs, like Girls on the Run and Adopt-A-School
