Gardening, hiking, reading, cooking.
In my free time I enjoy gardening with a special interest in organic food production and native Hawaiian plant restoration. I love going on challenging hikes with friends. On my downtime I like to read both fiction and non-fiction books. One of my favorite things to do is cook delicious meals for my family.
