My interests are deeply rooted in exploring the vibrant history and diverse cultures of the United States. My hobbies revolve around travel, history, food, and art & design. My journeys throughout the country have instilled a deep appreciation for understanding the historical context and distinctive culture that shapes each place. I find food to be an incredible gateway to culture, fostering connection through shared meals and personal narratives. Creatively, I express myself through textile art, specifically quilting and crocheting, finding satisfaction in crafting and gifting these pieces. My passion for learning extends to my reading, where I'm currently delving into topics like data analysis and leadership.
