As for hobbies, she loves attending her son’s soccer games and practices, cheering on her daughter at various gymnastics competitions, and spending quality time with extended family. She’s also extremely passionate about CrossFit and is a Level 1 trainer, which keeps her energized and balanced both in and out of the office.
