I love meaningful conversations just as much as lighthearted ones and enjoy getting to know people through shared stories and experiences. I spend much of my time teaching and working with students, which keeps me busy but inspires me to keep learning and reflecting. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, working out, reading, junk journaling, photography, building LEGOs, and I'm getting into puzzle video games. I love Latin music, K-pop, jazz pop, and indie. I’m happiest during cozy nights in, planning my next adventure, and game nights with friends. I value kindness and curiosity.
