Hobbies: (“What I do for fun”) 
My hobbies include hiking, fishing, camping, and all things outdoors. I also like photography, reading, and writing poetry. I love to go on new adventures with my ferret and exploring the outside with him.

What attracted you to CVCH? 
I was drawn to CVCH from experiences from my childhood. I remember going to Columbia Pediatrics as a patient and being so excited to go there to see the front desk staff. Their kindness was so memorable to me and never ending even as I got older. Since I started with CVCH, I have found the team I can call home and still feel that kindness. I have seen the differences we can make in action, and I want to continue this in hopes that we can help the people in our community find safety and care within CVCH.
