What do you do when you aren’t working?

When I’m not at Cain Ellsworth, I’m spending time with my family. My husband and I have four children—two boys and two girls—ages 15 to 9-years-old so they keep us busy. I also enjoy playing golf and I’m also an avid scrapbooker.

What are your passions outside of Cain Ellsworth? 

I love running! I have run 19 half marathons in the past seven years.
