AWAY FROM THE OFFICE

In Heather’s spare time, she enjoys running, hiking, swimming and playing with her two Labrador retrievers. She has one chocolate Labrador retriever and one yellow Labrador retriever, who both love playing catch. She is also looking forward to learning how to play golf, which she just recently picked up. When Heather’s not participating in outdoor activities, she very much enjoys live jazz music and a good bottle of wine. Heather loves traveling and hopes to visit all of the states at least once in her lifetime.
