What are your interests or something you are passionate about?
I have always loved anything dance related, making new and fun playlists on Spotify, listening to lifestyle podcasts, going to pilates & going on runs, or just doing anything outside that keeps me active! I am, and have always been, very passionate about dance, specifically ballet. I love doing it and I love watching it!
Do you have role models?
I would say that my biggest role model is my mom. She was the strongest, most fearless person I ever knew and she always handled herself with so much grace, kindness, and compassion. She thought highly of everyone and had such a positive outlook on life, despite what life threw at her. I strive to be all of the things she was, every single day.
What is your favorite spot in Marin County?
Mt. Tamalpais is my favorite spot in Marin County! The west side of the mountain overlooks Stinson Beach and is the best place in all of Marin to watch the sunset; it’s all my friends and I do over summer!
A fun fact about you?
I started doing ballet when I was 4 years old and was very close to pursuing my dream of joining a professional ballet company upon graduating college! Unfortunately, I stopped dancing when I was 18, but I began college with this intent and was very set on it for a very long time.
Favorite food?
Italian or Thai!
