Hobbies & Interests

The best advice Dr. Timme has received is, “Pursue in life what brings you joy.”

The most exotic place she has visited is Wadi Rum (the valley of the moon) in Jordan. It contains about 184,000 acres of red sand and has the best sunsets.

Not many people know this, but Dr. Timme plays the guitar and she danced ballet for nine years.

Her guilty pleasures are getting massages and trying new restaurants.
