What are your favorite hobbies or interests?
Anything where I can work with my hands. I also enjoy a good podcast or audiobook. Currently, I’m learning ceramics and how to throw on the pottery wheel, but I can often be found crocheting, baking, or gardening.
What’s your favorite indoor or outdoor activity?
I love all forms of cycling! While stationary bikes, spin classes, and mountain biking trails are all great, my favorite is riding outside in the summer. It’s a great way to get a tan too!
Do you like to travel? Where?
I’ve always joked that the last place I visited was my new favorite place. But after studying abroad in Florence in 2018, I know that I could go there over and over and over again and never be bored.
My small travel goal is to venture to the west coast! I’ve never been further than Colorado. I’d love to see friends in SoCal and then visit the Pacific Northwest. My big travel goal is to visit Asia and Australia!
