Off The Clock
OFF THE CLOCK
I LIKE TO MAKE THINGS, LEARN THINGS, MOVE AND OCCASIONALLY GET MYSELF INTO QUESTIONABLE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
FIRST, I WAS A DANCER.
Dance taught me discipline, repetition, physical awareness and how much work goes into making something look effortless.

My mother was a costume designer who built her own business while raising three children as a single mom.
Growing up around that shaped how I think about work — creative, independent, resourceful and hands-on.
