MOST TREASURED THING I OWN
A few pictures my late Grandmother sent me with her handwritten notes on the back. They recount her memories on each photo. They are one of those things that could never be replaced.
ONE PIECE OF ADVICE
Growth comes from discomfort. If we’re not willing to challenge ourselves and traverse into the unfamiliar, we’ll never be able to reach our potential and achieve our goals.
HOBBIES
I’m an amateur acrobat and I love to lift my friends up! I can also be found rock climbing, reading, doing community work, and enjoying the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest.
