Toni in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

I spend most weekends visiting family, traveling, golfing, and trying new restaurants with my fiancé. We especially love doing all of the above with our dog, Chopstick.

Favorite thing about where you live?

I’m spoiled living in Los Angeles. You can take classes for just about anything. We have one of the best food scenes, and it’s always a stop for concert tours. There are professional sporting events almost every day, and I can enjoy a hike or paddle board on the ocean. There is something for everyone here and always something to do.

Any words you try to live by?

I try my best to be intentional with my time, my relationships, and my resources.
