Be kind to yourself when learning new things!

What she'd be doing if not this?

Before I started working administrative roles I was a Llama Trekking Guide in the Flathead National Forest, and I could definitely see myself working with animals again.

Favorite outside-of-work activities?

Reading, going for walks & spending time outside, cross stitching, exploring the area with my husband.
