When We are NOT at work…
I enjoy being outside and can be found playing or watching sports, biking, hiking, or playing with my kids at the park. I love concerts and wine tasting and trying new recipes or restaurants. We have recently purchased a pop-up tent trailer and have big plans to take more camping trips this year, hopefully to the beach. I try to garden and have occasional success with succulents, hot peppers, tomatoes, and other delicious veggies. Sometimes they thrive and I can take no credit and other times I have spent hours cultivating my perfect garden. I love having chickens and fresh eggs and plan to add more ladies to my coop this spring. Fresh eggs and avocados are a staple meal at my house. My husband built me a “Little Free Library” and I love to keep it well stocked and sometimes decorated for themes of the month or special holidays. I love to read and have long dreamt of having a book club. Improving access to new books filled with diverse characters and written by diverse and especially BIPOC authors is a passion of mine. I also love arts and crafts and painting and can be found playing with water color or my cricut machine on random late nights when I feel like doing something creative. I have so many interests and activities I enjoy doing and sharing with loved ones.

I enjoy spending time with my sweet dog, Mochi and my partner in crime, Tana. If I’m not working, I can be found cuddling with her, taking her on walks in the neighborhood, or working out at the gym with my boyfriend. I like to do cardio and weight lifting because it keeps me feeling energized and ready for anything! Plus it allows me to eat more chocolate or other yummy desserts like my favorite, Nothing Bundt Cakes. I love hosting parties and coming up with fun themed menus and can usually be found mixing drinks and handing them out, no matter whose party it is. I am known for taking pictures and managing several social media accounts, keeping everyone up to date with the happenings of my life as well as the lives of my partners at Scenic Faculty Medical Group. When I’m not in Modesto, I’m usually traveling somewhere and exploring the world. Hawaii is a place I visit yearly.
