Interests
Exploring beautiful Kenya (the country I’ve called home since 2010) with my family and friends. Cultivating a multicultural worldview in my two young children through exposure to a wide variety of people, cultures, traditions and foods. Escaping my laptop for the great outdoors as much as possible.
