Wife and Mother 

My husband Mike and I have been married for 12 years. We met in Washington, D.C. and moved to Charlotte in 2013. We have three children, Lily, 9, Lee, 7, and Caroline, 2. We are a musical family: Lily and I play piano, Mike plays guitar, Lee plays cello and Caroline sings along.

Leapling

I was born on Feb. 29, so I only have a birthday every four years. In fact, I am only 10 years old!

Birder

During COVID, I took up a new hobby: birding!   I love watching osprey, red-winged blackbirds, and herons in Avalon, N.J. where we go to the beach every summer.     

Favorite Date Night 

The bar at O-Ku, for drinks and sushi, or Barrington's, for its intimate feel and rhubarb cobbler.

Power of Signs

I believe in signs from loved ones passed, like Laura Lynne Jackson suggests in her book "Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe." I take comfort that my beloved grandmother, who passed in 2022, sends me signs daily.
