Interests

In the summer, I enjoy looking for new places to walk or bike. My favorite bike trail in Kansas City is the Line Creek Trail.

In the colder or very hot days I will often relax indoors and read. Last year my favorite books were, Know My Name by Chanel Miller, Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr, and The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.
