Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy spending my spare time outside and engaging in activities such as hiking, swimming, biking, and jogging. These activities are part of my dedication to physical fitness and wellness, which I take very seriously, and which motivates me to volunteer my time, too. Some of the volunteer work I do includes leading group fitness at the YMCA and offering nutrition workshops, too. In addition to this, I enjoy teaching friends and family about the joys of sustainable farming and how easy it is to get started.
