Each day brings something new for my students and me to learn, from schoolwork to sports skills and work responsibilities. I know what it is like to juggle various activities simultaneously and have a busy schedule. I remain very active to this day, balancing exercise, well-being, and maintaining work and family life! I want my students to know that they can also see this in their lives and find a way to manage various activities. Sharing my experiences as a student-athlete helps me connect with various students with sports backgrounds and their academic responsibilities. It's great to communicate with this common ground and help them move closer to goals on both sides!

• Tennis – I started playing during my freshman year of high school and continued to work hard and practice all throughout college and I still play to this day.
• Hiking/walking – I've always been quite active, but during quarantine, I decided to keep myself busy and get fresh air by walking around my neighborhood or finding local hiking trails to explore.
• Creating – Although my degree and field of study are in graphic design, I try not to limit myself to one creative activity; I love painting, drawing, collaging, photography, and more!
• Writing/Reading – As my second field of study, I really enjoy creative writing and reading to help me process my thoughts, gain ideas, and explore new worlds.
