Hobbies

  • Baking and cooking: I just got a sourdough starter which I have been experimenting with
  • Listening to podcasts: My favorite is Iliza Schlesinger’s podcast “Ask Iliza Anything”
  • Traveling and exploring new places: I have been to Europe a few times, but since Covid I have been exploring more locally. And I’m a foodie, so I love to eat my way around new places.
