I am a native New Yorker and mother of two. Prior to taking on the most important job I’ve ever had, I was an avid traveler and had lived in Venezuela, Ecuador and Argentina. I consider climbing the Andes mountains to reach Macchu Picchu to be among my favorite memories. To recharge I spend my time knitting or reading contemporary or historical fiction.
