Personal

In my spare time, I enjoying racquetball, tennis, dance, running, cooking, and reading. In the past, I also spent a lot of time practicing piano and ballroom dancing.

Books

A compiled (and hopefully growing!) list of memorable books to keep myself accountable for reading regularly. Though I like many different genres, I often find myself gravitating towards literature with historical/cultural/social themes or about lives very different from yet connected to my own.
