Outside of work you can find me:

  • Going to music concerts and festivals to dance or discover new artists
  • Moving in new and fun ways (yoga, muay thaï, trail running)
  • Spending time with friends analyzing the latest movie, show or art exhibition we just saw together
  • Being in awe of nature, basking in the sun, smelling flowers and lean on a tall tree

One of my favorite quotes:

“Self-care is not self-indulgence; it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

Audre Lorde
