“I try to challenge myself beyond career, travel, and health goals–that includes facing my fears, one of which is heights. So in December 2014, I jumped off of Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas and it was exhilarating to say the least. It stands at 1,149 ft. making it the tallest freestanding observation tower in the US. The jump was 829 ft. and had a cord, so next up: skydiving!”
