### What's a recent great read?

Every January, I re-read Brene Brown’s “The Gifts of Imperfection.” This all-time favorite book helps me refocus my goals in the New Year, provides daily practices and guideposts for personal development support, and inspires me to live a wholehearted life.

### Why do you do what you do?

I am devoted to connecting people, passion, and mission. I find immense joy in learning more about what makes people tick and what brings them passion. Finding a way for an individual or family to live out their “passion-dreams” and leave a legacy beyond their wildest dreams is what gets me out of bed in the morning.

### When I’m not working, I’m…

Spending time with my husband outside. We especially love hiking, paddleboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, disc golfing, and playing cornhole together.
