I worked as a salesperson and cashier at Garage Clothing

Fun fact or Talents?

Fun Fact: I went on a 16-day seminar over in France and Belgium in 2019 to explore WWI and WWII battlefields. One highlight of the trip is that I got to be on Juno beach on the exact day of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Talent: Skiing and wakeboarding – even if I haven’t gone out in years, it’s like riding a bike and I can get back up with ease.
