- Hobbies
I really enjoy being with my daughters, Charlotte, 7, and Julia, 5, and my husband, Scott. We enjoy going to local parks, libraries, beaches, museums and festivals. My daughters are on the Wendwood Wahoos summer league swim team, which is a family affair for us because I am a former competative swimmer and swim coach. I also enjoy spending time with my extended family in Virginia Beach. My philosphy on parenting is simple - This is the toughest job I will ever love.
