In my spare time...
I am an avid runner. I completed my first marathon this fall. I also love to read. My favorite book is Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier. “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again” is an iconic quote from the book I was introduced to as a young reader. This compelling novel was a guiding influence for my continued love of reading.
