As much as I enjoy my customer service career, one of my true loves is gardening. I love planting a variety of fruits and vegetables in my backyard. If I'm not at the call center, more than likely, I am in my garden. In addition to gardening, I love anything related to the cinema and I have a keen interest in classic films. In my spare time, I also enjoy drawing, painting and sketching.
