“I love to bike, hike, walk, run, swim, or do anything that keeps me active. I enjoy crafty things—drawing, sewing, quilting, needlepoint, and counted cross stitch. My husband Kyle and I have three kids and we live in Hartford. My favorite book is ‘A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.’ I read it once a year every January and am on my third copy. I’ve even named my kids and pets after characters in that book.”
