Hobby: Cooking, Gardening, and floating (lakes, rivers, pools, warm oceans-- I am open to floating anywhere)

Favorite Place on UW Tacoma campus and Why: There are so many! It’s hard to pick. We have a lovely campus. If I had to pick one, I’d say the Prairie Line Trail, I’ve been privileged to attend some really fabulous events on the trail. It’s absolutely magnificent on summer evenings!
