We live one life and there are many parts of it that I love.

Nature: a place to run, to hike, to meditate, and to create awesome photographs

People: Making connections, spending time with friends, and connecting to cultures.

Art: Music, Paintings, and Writing

I was born on February 29th, 2000. I am therefore effectively 4.25 (synergy with my last name)! When I was 1.25, I took piano lessons. I hated them at first, but they cultivated an appreciation for music that i carry today. In 5th grade I picked up the Alto Saxophone, which along with piano, I played all through high school. At age 3.5, I entered high school, and playing the sax introduced me to band, and subsequently my first friend group. Despite considering myself an extrovert, I did not fit in with other kids, in part because I used to be overweight (27.7 BMI), but after two years of diet and exercise, I lost 37 pounds! Losing weight cultivated a passion for running, hiking, and experiencing nature. I love to socialize and (not to blow smoke up my butt) make new friends easily. We all consider ourselves quite weird. But weird is good. Weird is unique and diverse in special ways.

I Also dabble in painting, and creative writing on tumblr (Everyone can do it)!

And I love Radiohead.
