Personal Interests:
I miss exploring Kansas City! The Nelson-Atkins, City Market, Messenger Coffee/Ibis Bakery, and Crossroads Arts District are some of my favorite spots in the city, and I can’t wait to get back into the real world! I also enjoy reading, running, yoga, swimming, drawing, making jewelry, baking, spending time with my family, and staying active with my son and dogs.
