When I’m not “nerding out” about lighting, I spend time with my family, being a full-time mommy of 3. Life is filled with sports, birthday parties and backyard BBQs. We enjoy seeing our family in Wisconsin on the weekends now or traveling back to the East Coast to visit all the cousins.
You’ll find me playing competitive volleyball weekly or in Chi-town at a networking event. Life is busy these days, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
