challenge. She adapts her approach to each person, paying attention to what feels most

thoughtful, and responsive, someone who can meet you where you are while staying open to
where things might go.
Outside of her work, Dominique can often be found puttering in her garden, relaxing with
family and friends, or dabbling in a new hobby.
