What do you do for fun?
During my free time I enjoy spending time with my animals and biking both indoor and outdoor. Every September, I bike 200+ miles to raise money for kid’s cancer research through a non profit called the Great Cycle Challenge.
Name and describe a memorable place you have been.
While in college, I had an incredible opportunity to spend time in New Zealand and Australia. During my time in these countries I worked hands on with children to further their knowledge in the arts and they taught me the connection sustainability has to their everyday lives.
