When not helping clients, Bailie enjoys spending time outdoors—most often snowboarding in the winter, hiking in the warmer months, and tending to her home garden. She is an avid football fan and proudly splits her loyalty between Boise State and Notre Dame, depending on the weekend. Whether on the mountain or in the stands, she brings the same energy and curiosity to her personal life that she brings to her practice.
