Outside of work, you can find me doing yoga, reading, hiking, or exploring a new city.

I have read Attached by Amir Levine twice just in case I missed something the first time.

I recharge by doing yoga and traveling to new places.
I have a pug mix, my favorite story involves any animal doing anything silly.
