What is your favorite Rhode Island escape or hobby?
I enjoy getting as many miles in on the trails and bike paths throughout the state. The East Bay Bike Path is my favorite; the scenery alone makes the beating your body takes worth it.

How do you keep a work-life balance?
I got married two years ago and quickly my priorities changed.

What one thing in your professional life would you like a do-over on?
I have made many mistakes along the way but would not change anything. Each bump in the road has taught me how to be a better person.
