About Me
“I am a person who likes to try new things, so I love picking up new hobbies! This summer I learned how to play pickleball and taught all my friends how to play! I recently became super interested in the WNBA and attended several Liberty games. I also love to cook/bake and am always trying to challenge myself with new recipes. Recently, I learned how to make homemade sourdough bread and love to share loaves with others. I have an outdoor summer garden and made several varieties of homemade pickles from the cucumbers I grew. My most recent endeavor was homemade sushi!”
