Hobbies
In my free time I enjoy running, walking, and hiking. For non-action based activities I have a love for classical and dystopian literature. I also write short stories, work with clay, and paint. Prior to becoming a teacher, I was a baker full-time, which has always been a passion of mine and something I continue to do for friends and family.
