Outside of the office you’ll likely find me reading historical fiction, snuggling my rescue cats, watching Formula 1, catching a genre film at the Music Box Theatre, and participating in critical analysis of the Real Housewives on Bravo with my friends. I love dabbling in various fiber arts, exploring Chicago’s hidden gems, and am known for baking one mean cookie.
