Fun Facts

Spending time with my family and friends means everything to me.

Helping comes naturally, whether it’s pitching in, sharing what I know, or just being there when someone needs support. I learned that from my mom, it’s one of the most meaningful ways I find purpose.

I feel most alive outdoors, surfing, swimming, kayaking, hiking, trail running. Nature is where I recharge, stay active, and spark new inspiration.
