I love spending time with my family.
The kids' activities certainly keep me busy (soccer, basketball, track, dance...)!

My favorite subject to teach is math!

I love to watch movies or follow a good TV series when I can (some of my favorite shows are:  Homeland, Ray Donovan, Modern Family, and Billions).

I also enjoy trying out new restaurants.
