My biggest passion is traveling. I love exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and discovering environments that feel totally different from home. I've been lucky to visit parts of Asia, Europe, and the U.S., and I keep a running list of places I want to see next. Southern South America, northern Africa, and the Middle East are at the top right now.
My favorite hobby and sport is golf. I started during the pandemic and got hooked pretty quickly—I've worked my way down to a 7.8 handicap and have played most of the big Bay Area courses. Whenever I'm in a new place, the first thing I do is look for a track to try.
I also love surfing around San Francisco. I'm definitely not the best surfer in the group, but I could spend hours in the water and it's one of my favorite ways to be outside. Scuba diving is another big one for me; I've dove in Thailand, Croatia, Hawaii, and California, and I'm obsessed with exploring wrecks and new underwater spots.
Over the past couple years, I've gotten into rock climbing, mainly bouldering with friends, and I'm starting to shift toward outdoor sport climbing. Outside of sports, I love cooking, which has always been part of my life—my mom went to culinary school, and my family's mix of backgrounds pushed me toward trying new foods from a young age.
Overall, I like anything that gets me outside, lets me see something new, or gives me a reason to share good food with people.
