Degree in Astrophysics, work as a data analyst for a tech company. I play the clarinet semi-professionally (as a hobby), can speak Mandarin Chinese and am learning Spanish, and love to travel!

Huge outdoor freak. Love snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing, backpacking, rafting, horseback riding, canoeing, you name it! National Parks are a favorite of mine, so I try to hit the natural areas that are in the area I'm traveling in. I also love experiencing the local culture of the area, especially the food!!

I'm what many people would call an "extroverted introvert." I love hanging out with people but definitely need some down time to recharge! With that, I enjoy deep discussions, whether it's theological, political, philosophical, you name it! If we're talking to each other the conversation is bound to head that way haha. But I am also a sucker for cheesy jokes :) :)
