How do you spend your free time?

I spend most of my free time with my family. We love to take the kids to the park and keep busy with the youth sports programs through the city. I also love to watch movies and am the kind of person who has to Google the movie to see what year it was made, who the cast is, etc.

How would you describe yourself?

I’ve always been an outgoing introvert. I really enjoy being home and having time to myself but I’m also very talkative and love connecting with others. I am also funny, hardworking and kind.

I love photography and being able to create but I am most passionate about my family.

What do you like most about the community you live in?

What I like most about the community is how family oriented it is. I love that the city has a lot of events for families as well as a variety of sports programs for kids. I’ve taken photos for Hermiston Parks and Recreation for the last several months, and I love being able to help document these events. I also love that Hermiston has grown so much over the last several years, and I think it’s important to be involved in the community and to show our children the importance of being involved so that we can continue to grow.
