Kylie loves spending time outdoors with her husband and their energetic four-year-old German Shepherd. From exploring national parks, to long walks around her home in Northern Virginia, to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Kylie adores being outside. When she’s not working or spending time in nature, you will likely find Kylie reading a book or, more likely, listening to Taylor Swift.
