I've loved to read for as long as I can remember. While the frequency ebbs and flows with my schedule, I try to make it a priority. My favorite genres are fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and many more!
I was able to meet Matt Parker at JMM24 and we even chatted a bit about ways to bring fun and interest to math education!
I also spend my time working out. I've been an athlete for most of my life playing soccer and running cross country. I was a Division I soccer player in college at Drake University and some of my favorite memories were as a member of that team. I now spend time lifting weights, running, hiking, cycling, or climbing. I ran a half marathon in 2019 and plan to complete a triathlon in the future. Working out is a great way to clear my head after intellectually-heavy days and I even find that I can solve problems while out on a run.
