“It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves — in finding themselves.”  - Andre Gide

 

I try my best to live by the “work hard, play hard” philosophy. My non-academic interests include: hiking, biking, backpacking, mountaineering and traveling. I believe that we learn a lot about ourselves when we strive to find our physical limits and push ourselves out of our comfort zones.

 

I have been fortunate to work with and meet incredible and inspiring people everywhere I go. My family and mentors have encouraged me to travel and try new things, and having an open mind is something that I will always value. The sense of excitement and discovery that comes with exploration and adventure motivates me to fill my free time with new goals.

 

I strive to find balance in my life. For me, that involves self-discovery through new adventures and exploring this beautiful world that we live in.
