About Me
Engineer | Travel Lover | Certified Yoga Teacher
When I'm not coding, you'll likely find me hiking, reading by the beach, discovering new restaurants, or traveling to new countries—always chasing adventure in some form.
I love staying active, and right now, I'm competing in a spring flag football league with friends. Long runs (10+ miles, just for fun) are my reset button—I thrive on the balance of discipline and freedom they bring. Movement is my meditation, and no matter how the day goes, I always find my way back to my yoga mat.
I have a deeply adventurous spirit. Whether it's exploring hidden gems in LA or experiencing new cultures abroad, I'm always seeking something new. This summer, I'm especially excited to see the Cowboy Carter Tour in France—because why not mix travel with a little Beyoncé magic?
At the core of everything I do is a belief in continuous self-growth—physically, mentally, and spiritually. That's what keeps life fulfilling.
