Hobbies

I have been passionate about weight lifting ever since I was in high school. It brings me great fulfillment to push my body to its physical limits. I also like to cook my own meals. Experimenting with new recipes is always exciting when dinner time comes around. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I had sought to explore nature more, which got me into hiking. Hiking has given me a new appreciation for nature, and has me looking for new places to explore when my schedule permits it. I also enjoy doing volunteer work. When I lived in New York, I volunteered at open mats for my high school alma mater's wrestling team on Tuesday's and Thursday's. Being able to give back to the program and community that gave me so much support when I was in high school is nothing short of an honor to do. I also enjoy history and learning new topics or learning about topics I have knowledge of even further.
