Personal:
I moved to Crozet, Virginia from California in 2011, and I love the rich history of the region. My favorite
thing to do is to go hiking or play sports with my husband and 2 boys, ages 13 and 10. My sons have taken
a unique interest in public policy. They have accompanied me to local Town Hall meetings to meet our
Delegates and Senators, and often have questions and feedback for them too. Our family has visited 25
state capitols so far, but Richmond is our favorite!
