Cooking
Like many individuals from multicultural backgrounds, I grew up in a household where food was an important connection to culture, history, and identity. In addition to cuisine from my own family, I continue to love learning new dishes and cooking styles from around the world. This interest extends to coffee, tea, wine, and more.
Nature
I love spending time outdoors and have enjoyed four-season hiking in the White Mountains, Sierra Nevadas, Rockies, Cascades, and the Alps. I also like to camp, kayak, ski, and more. My dog often tags along on these trips.
