What makes a good day at Long Ridge for me:
For me, a good day at Long Ridge is a day filled with event planning, communication building, and teamwork. Of course, a great day is when I am also surprised with an unexpected, major donation from one of our generous community members.
I am inspired by:
Nature, I draw inspiration, energy, and calm from the natural world. Everything in nature is always changing, always moving, and always working to restore balance, all traits I aspire to have.
One of my hidden talents:
Art in its many forms. Art has always come very naturally to me. I paint, draw, sculpt, am an avid potter, and was even a professional Interior Architect for many years. If I have some spare time, you will find me creating something just for the fun of it.
Something surprising about me:
I used to be a surfer, well, a longboarder, to be exact. When I lived in California, I spent many afternoons floating around on my board, catching waves, and getting spooked by playful dolphins that would swim around the swell of surfers.
