What is something that you do to get closer to nature?
I like to sit in a chair in a stream with a book and a drink in the summer time, with my human and canine family.

Tell us about your favorite place or park in Kingston.
I love to go to Sojourner Truth State Park and walk the Steep Rocks Trail to the viewpoint and to hang out at the pavilion by the river.

What do you love most about the Kingston area community?  
There’s a mix of creative energy, and I love the events and things that come with that to bring people together and make the area feel alive. Most people here are uplifting, supportive, and people are genuinely willing to help each other out.
