Personal Details and Community Involvement
I like to say that I collect experiences, not things. Among other things, I am a passionate and intrepid traveler. It’s completely broadened who I am as a person and my children’s perspective on the world. I still have whole continents on my bucket list, but I’m chipping away at that list. (Seeing the Northern Lights is my top priority at the moment.) That, and the screenplay I’m going to write. Someday.
