Personal Interests

Photography

I began doing photography at the age of 12, using a hand-me-down point-and-shoot camera. Since those days, I have taught myself how to use various cameras, ranging from amateur to semi-pro DSLR, to mirrorless!

I started off by taking aviation photos, but have since transitioned predominantly into nightlife/street photography. I love being able to take time and experiment with shutter speeds and lighting to tell a story!

Recreational Flying

I earned my Recreational Pilots Permit after high school, allowing me to take flight and check off one of my childhood dreams. I love being able to share my passion for flight and aviation, and find it to be a super freeing hobby!

I completed my first solo flight after just 9.6 hours of dual training time, and earned my permit with 25.1 hours of total flying time: just above the 25-hour minimum, and a testament to my ability to learn quickly!

Cooking and Baking

I do a healthy amount of cooking and baking in my spare time. Sometimes creating my own recipes and creations, drawing on my experience to come up with some pretty neat creations, like blueberry-basil braided buns, crispy honey-Dijon salmon with risotto and pepper puree, and other fun things.
