Favorite thing to eat at the market: I like anything and everything pickled, so if it’s available at the market, you can bet i’m picking up a jar!

Fun Fact: When I’m not working I’m quilting and cross-stitching. I will gladly share any tips and suggestions if you ask! My biggest passion in life is playing roller derby. I play for the Texas Rollergirls, a team that is 7th out of nearly 500 leagues worldwide! My team was also recently featured in Teen Vogue.
