Her studies in political science at the University of Richmond prepared her for an intended career in Washington D.C. as a lobbyist and policy maker, but a post-college stint in Jackson Hole, Wyoming turned her into a mountain-loving westerner.

They love skiing, biking, golfing, and being part of their dynamic neighborhood.
