Hobbies

• 🏃‍♂️ Running: An avid runner since 2015, I completed my first half marathon in 2019 and most recently ran the 2025 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, overcoming a challenging injury in 2023.
• 🚴‍♂️ Cycling: I started cycling in 2025. My goal is to ride from Manhattan to Poughkeepsie by the end of the year.
• 🦜 Birding: You can find me in Central Park during April-May and Sept-Oct in the early mornings looking for migrating birds. My favorite spot is The Pool. The rest of the year, I’m on Larkwire getting ready for the season.
• 🎮 Gaming: The Polytopia weekly challenge on iPhone and Mario Kart on Nintendo Switch are my go-to games.

Continuous Learning

• YouTube: I enjoy educational channels like Smarter Every Day, Real Engineering, Computerphile, and Numberphile.
• Reading: My interests span Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Biographies, History, and Psychology. Check out my favorites on Goodreads.
• Languages: I’m a forever spanish student. No matter how much time I spend practicing, I still have difficulty speaking. Duolingo’s marketing won me over.
