In her leisure time, Heather loves traveling with her family, voraciously reading everything she gets her hands on (including owner’s manuals—how else would one know not to operate a lawn mower in the shower? It was in the manual. True story.), and spending quality moments with her rescued collie dogs who, in turn, lovingly supervise her every move.
