My Interests
Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time on activities that keep me creative and active. One of the biggest parts of my life is golf. As a student-athlete on the women’s golf team at Rutgers University, golf has taught me discipline, patience, and how to balance athletics with academics.
In my free time, I also enjoy hobbies that help me relax and be creative. I like crocheting and playing video games, which are great ways for me to unwind. I also enjoy traveling and doing puzzles with my sister. These interests help me stay balanced and bring creativity and enjoyment into my everyday life.
Golf
Golf is a major part of my life and I've been playing since I was 5. Being on the women’s golf team has taught me discipline, patience, and how to balance athletics with academics. One of my proudest accomplishments is winning the National Golf Invitational with my team in 2024. I’ve also achieved a personal milestone with my lowest career score of 4-under par, which reflects my dedication to constantly improving my game.
Creative Hobbies
I enjoy creative hobbies like crocheting and drawing, which allow me to express myself and unwind. I got into crocheting in September 2024 while I was unexpectedly stuck in Italy waiting for my visa to return to the United States for school! What began as a way to pass time quickly became something I love, and one of my favorite projects so far is a vintage-style flower pillowcase (photo on the left). Creative activities like these help me stay relaxed while still challenging myself.
Relaxation & Fun
In my free time, I enjoy playing video games and doing puzzles with my sister. Video games are a fun way for me to relax and disconnect, and my favorites are The Sims 4 and Fortnite. I also value spending time with my family, and doing puzzles together is one of the ways we unwind and connect.

Travel & Exploration
Traveling has always been an important part of my life, as it allows me to experience new cultures and perspectives. I have traveled to 18 countries and 23 states, and each place has given me unique memories and experiences. One of my favorite destinations has been Hawaii, specifically the island of Kauai, because of its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere! Traveling continues to inspire me and broaden my perspective on the world.
