What you may not know about Carol…

When she’s not wrangling numbers, helping clients succeed or volunteering, Carol indulges her curious and loving spirit in several ways. Family and friends are a top priority, so free time often finds her visiting, laughing and sharing with them. She also loves to travel and explore new places and foods (all popular passions at Hayashi Wayland). For quieter moments, Carol enjoys reading. And when the outdoors calls, you might find her hiking and basking in the beauty of the local area.
