Q: What inspires or motivates you?

Q: Tell us about who you are outside of Kirkwood – hobbies, family, other interests, etc.
A: Absolutely love everything outdoors. I’ve been working seasonally for the National Park Service in EMS/SAR and spend as much time as I can backpacking/hiking/camping. I play ultimate here in Cedar Rapids with CRU and for a club team called LudICRous based out of IC/CR. I love all sports, biking, running…you name it, I like to stay active. On the flip side, I’m also a huge bookworm and love reading, puzzles, and board games. I have two absolutely adorable nieces and I spend as much time up in NE Iowa with my family as my work schedule allows.
