A book that has impacted me: It’s too hard to pick just one book!! The Midnight Library was very though provoking, with it’s main theme being related to mental health. Additionally, I grew up with the Harry Potter series and these books caused my infatuation of reading.

What I do to take care of myself after a challenging day/time/situation: I cuddle with my 2-year-old corgi, Sage. I also talk to my family and read for pleasure or watch some of my favorite movies or TV shows (like How to Be Single, I Feel Pretty, Stranger Things, or anything that cultivates 90’s nostalgia).

If I wasn’t in this line of work, I would be: A bookstore owner where I can also sell baked goods and brew coffee.Replace with your text
