Hobbies
I love the outdoors and last year hiked 60 miles of the Appalachian Trail and also ran in the Hood-to-Coast relay in Oregon. I was a total bookworm as a child and loved reading more than anything and feel very lucky to work with words for a living. I have two daughters (a high school senior and a college sophomore), and have coached many of their friends and my friends' children through writing their college essays, with great success.
