I am currently serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA in Takoma Park, Maryland, where I work with immigrant and refugee farmers and small business owners.

I love anything that will get me outside, especially being on the water. I like to go kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, canoeing, hiking, gardening, exploring DC and the surrounding area.

I like lame pun jokes and going to museums and lectures.

I am an avid postcard collector.
