Activities and Interests: All forms of exercise (especially running, biking, lifting, martial arts, and hiking), traveling with my partner, reading, and learning

Factoid: I hiked Mount Fuji from the bottom of the mountain – the normal route starts in the middle – which meant an extra 1,500 m of elevation gain. 10/10 do not recommend.

Quote: “I believe that truly meeting students where they are means taking a holistic approach towards instruction that prioritizes their well-being and psychological safety as a prerequisite for academic and personal growth.”
