What does life look like outside of the office for you?
Outside the office, I enjoy trying new restaurants in the great city of Chicago. I also enjoy traveling not only locally but looking to go somewhere international again. While I am not married or have kids at this point in my life, I mentor a sweet 10 year old girl named Cushira through a great mentoring program, Horizons for Youth. After 5+ years being together, I truly consider her a little sister.
