I was born in Boston and have loved this city ever since. I have traveled all over Asia and have lived in many countries for many years, but Boston has always been home.

I was so fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel the world, meet new cultures and see how others live their lives. The more I saw, the more I realized how little I knew, which sparked a hunger for knowledge. I'm always eager to learn and try new things.

Running has always been my outlet. When in college, during exams, you would always find me out on the track running laps. After a good run I always felt refreshed and found it easier to focus back on studying. I firmly believe that physical wellness is strongly connected to mental wellness. I have completed the Boston Marathon twice and regularly run 5k and 10k events.
