An avid environmentalist and outdoors person, Limer loves hiking, gardening, and any activities that bring her close to nature, from cross country skiing to snorkeling. When not outside, she enjoys puzzles of all kinds (jigsaw, crossword, Wordle, etc!), baking, and yoga. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, son, dog, cat, and many plants.
