On a Personal Note: I grew up in eastern PA and have lived throughout Pennsylvania and in England, France, and Taiwan. In my free time, I love traveling and exploring. I’m often found with a book, grabbing coffee with a new friend, enjoying music, or having a game night with friends. I live with my cat Maeve and a revolving rotation of plants I try to keep alive.
