Personal

I love spending time with my friends, family, and pets, and I’m always looking for new ways to be creative. Whether it’s diving into DIY projects, making art, or taking pottery classes, creativity plays a big role in my life. On self-care days, you’ll probably find me hopping between thrift stores with a coffee in hand. I also enjoy trying new things like gardening, experimenting with new recipes, or getting lost in a good non-fiction book.

Staying active and spending time outdoors are also important to me. I appreciate the fresh air while kayaking, hiking, or biking, and I like to keep my workouts varied with yoga, Pilates, and HIIT. I enjoy learning and pushing myself to grow, both physically and mentally—and yes, coffee usually makes an appearance no matter what I’m doing.
