I love people, especially my friends and family. I also love Oprah (I won’t deny it), tennis, cooking, and writing in my journal. My favorite places in the world are Zambia; London; San Francisco; Provo; and Tempe, Arizona. Long term, I want to help people write and edit their personal and family histories, and once I find that golden person, I’ll write a biography. Thanks for reading!
