my interests
when I’m not wearing my dietitian hat, you’ll find me reading fantasy books, spending time with my husband and friends, watching hockey, napping with my dogs, out in the sun somewhere, playing video games, or drinking coffee. I am deeply introverted and balance out my weekends with friends and quiet time.
