She thoroughly enjoys summertime and loves spending time with family and close friends. She’s also committed to her 6am morning workouts with kettlebells. In her free time, you can find her baking cakes and cookies from scratch, relaxing on the many beaches of Rhode Island, and listening to Spanish music.
