What are your personal interests outside of work?

"My family and I love to garden and we continue to grow more each and every season. We now have a grove of ornamental trees and a wide crop of vegetables. Outside of gardening, we love being outdoors and I've taken up a lot of DIY work around our property. I built a shed and new garage over the last year, and that has surely kept me plenty busy."

"We have a lot of hobbies that we partake in to keep us busy as a family. We love off-road driving in the countryside and my husband and I recently parachuted for the first time. We will definitely be making that an annual tradition for us because it was such a rush. We also love to travel to 90 Mile Beach for an annual vacation."
