In my free time, I enjoy traveling in every direction and as far as expenses will allow. My favorite destinations so far have included Český Krumlov (Czech Republic), Edinburgh (Scotland), and Krakow (Poland), to name a few. When at home, and not in the classroom, I enjoy spending valuable time with my family and friends, including my beloved rescue dog and best friend, Gracie Bell. Other interests include college sports (Go Bears!), water and snow skiing, and any type of live music..
