In my leisure time, I relish the adventure of exploration, whether it takes me through the vibrant streets of major cities or along the serene trails in the heart of nature. My love for cycling has me pedaling through both urban and rural landscapes, savoring the diverse experiences each has to offer.

Photography, a passion cultivated during my time at the once esteemed Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, allows me to capture the beauty and intricacies of the world through a lens.

Watercolor painting, while a leisurely pursuit, is another avenue of creative expression I thoroughly enjoy. It's a process that allows me to translate my thoughts and emotions into vibrant visual art.

When I'm not behind the camera or paintbrush, I channel my creativity into the world of writing. I dabble in poetry, craft film scripts, and weave stories that unfold across various genres, expanding my imagination and offering a gateway to different worlds through words.

My curiosity extends to research, where I delve into topics such as history, geography, watershed systems, and a multitude of other subjects. The quest for knowledge continually expands my horizons.

I take great satisfaction in supporting meaningful causes, and during my undergraduate studies, I actively participated in the Honors Society at my college, where I enthusiastically took part in community organizing events, such as trail and waterway cleanups and attending a multitude of enlightening lectures on diverse subjects. Furthermore, I've been dedicated to raising funds for charitable organizations, having cycled hundreds of miles to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Wounded Warriors Project, a commitment that aligns with my belief in the significance of aiding those in need and making a positive impact on the world.

My strong desire to create a profound impact on the lives of students and the broader community is the driving force behind my decision to pursue graduate school and become an educational leader, ultimately aiming to serve as a principal. I am dedicated to fostering a positive and enriching educational environment that empowers all stakeholders to thrive.
