• Favorite place you’ve visited: I haven’t been many places out of the US but I have visited a lot of US states and one of my all-time favorites was Washington, especially in the summer. I once ran a 200-mile relay race (Ragnar-Northwest Passage) throughout the state and it was such an amazing way to sight see. Even though it gets a bad rap for the weather, in the summer months all that rain brings such a beautiful green landscape. Even downtown Seattle looks like it somehow got dropped in the middle of a forest. 
• What does your role in YMF involve? I am one half of the team that is responsible for all the fun social events that YMF hosts. I love this position because it allows me to meet all types of people in YMF and bond over a fun event!
• What motivates you? I love being challenged in both my professional and personal life. Taking on any opportunity that is presented to me and finding the perfect balance between all of them keeps me busy and motivated to do the best I can!
