A quick handshake

•What is your favorite thing to do when you’re not working with clients?

It sounds cliche, but spending quality time with friends and family, whether on a hiking trail or at one of the many wonderful restaurants and breweries here in Richmond. My family moved here right before I started high school, and I have been enjoying rediscovering the city.

•Do you like to travel?

Yes! I love exploring new places. I recently took a trip to Portugal and the island of Madeira where I got to go on some truly spectacular hikes.

•People would be surprised to know...

I can name all the countries and their capitals in the world.
