Hobbies
I love to be active. Some of my favorite activities include dance, kayaking, hiking, tennis and biking. I also love the arts and have enjoyed theater, choreography and the visual arts for most of my life. I absolutely love to travel. I enjoy learning languages and experiencing new cultures. I love animals- especially my very sweet dog named Leia who I brought back to the US with me after my service in the Peace Corps in Burkina Faso.
