This means that I am clearly the favorite child. I have 2 dogs, named Mack and Tank. I think old technology is extremely cool, especially old cameras. I like making people laugh, good questions, and eventually want to travel the world.

Fun Fact
Last year I had the opportunity to study abroad in Japan for about a month!
One philosophy that I thought was cool was the philosophy of ichigoichie(一期一会) which translates to “one time, one meeting”. It means that every moment is unique, so cherish it. (Also I practiced the curly quotes here.)
