My Hobbies
During the quarantine, I set my mind on the goal of running a 5K. As someone who was never an athlete growing up and had hardly ran a day in my life, it was intimidating to take on this goal. Five years later, running has served as a great practice for caring for both my physical and mental health, and I really enjoy running both solo & with friends!
I am currently training for my first ever marathon. Eep - those are words I never thought I would say.. wish me luck! (:
I love traveling with my partner, Hoang. Some of the places I have travelled include Hawaii, Vietnam, Honduras, & of course, Buc-ee's!
I love gardening! My favorite things to grow include strawberries, okra, sugar snap peas, & of course, flowers!
My partner and I own over 250 board games! We were first introduced to Catan as an undergraduate student, and we quickly fell in love with the hobby. We love exploring local board game shops and cafes and attending board game conventions all over the country.
