Personal Interests

Cooking
I am passionate about food and cooking and am always looking to try my hand at new dishes and cuisines. I've picked up recipes and tips from family and friends over the years spanning geography and culture, from Italy to South Korea to Bangladesh. This interest in exploring fun flavors extends to coffee, tea, wine, and amaro.

Nature
I love getting outside and have enjoyed four-season hiking in the White Mountains, Sierra Nevadas, Rockies, Cascades, and the Alps. I also enjoy camping, kayaking, skiing, and more.
