Other Interests
Fitness
In my spare time, I enjoy various types of exercise - from barre classes, to running, to hiking and swimming. I've participated in a half marathon, and I've recently achieved a milestone in number of barre classes I've attended.
Music
I'm an avid musician - I took violin lessons a child, and then I switched to vocal lessons in high school and received multiple awards in classical singing competitions. I additionally used to sing in numerous bands throughout my undergraduate and graduate school careers.
Travel
I've lived extended periods in countries such as Mexico, Spain, Peru, and China. I enjoy meeting new people and interacting with others that have different backgrounds, and I hope to be able to visit many other areas of the world!
Cats
I am a "cat-mom" to two young cats through a local humane society, Kira and Inés. Additionally, my partner and I have begun fostering cats that are looking for their forever home.
