Why do you love working at Westlawn? This is my community. I've lived here for 26 years and know and love the people and the area. It feels like home and I plan to never leave!

What books are you currently reading? My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman, and The Midnight Children by Dan Gemeinhart. I am always expanding my YA reading list!

What are your hobbies and interests? My daughters are both in college and as empty nesters, my husband and I hike most weekends. I read a lot and do enjoy a good Netflix binge from time to time as well.
