Things that make me tick.
Travel.
“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain.
Art & Education.
I love art in all forms—paintings, dance, sculpture, literature, film & TV… Art tells us valuable stories, but the most important part of story is what happens to the viewer. As viewers, we learn from art and story and create meanings for ourselves. I have a great appreciation for the education I have received through witnessing stories unfold in every form.
Food.
I love to eat and I love to cook. Food helps us grow and learn as we eat it—what fun! Food also means family. My family cooks together, tries out new recipes together, and eats together. A good meal can bring people together and everyone enjoys chowing down on delicious food. What we eat and what we are willing to try reveals who we are and want to be.
