Personal
I live in Maine with my wonderful husband, 2 amazingly good kids, and dopey dog. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, biking, reading, avoiding cleaning and laundry, watching British mystery shows, being a serial hobbyist (boardgames, crochet, tin whistle, whittling, gardening, etc.), and running down rabbit holes.
