Personal:
Of all of my accomplishments, I am most proud of my family. My husband of 11 years, Gerard and I are the proud parents of two brilliant children, Astrid and Henry. We spent ten years as a military family, traveling across the country and living in California, Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina, Washington and Colorado, where Gerard retired from the military. We now live in Connecticut.

In my free time, I love to volunteer at my children’s schools and explore the all that New England and the New York Tri-State area has to offer with my family. I am also an amateur runner and yogi who loves to read and often frequents my local library.
