After School

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring new places. I’m an avid hiker, and some of my favorite adventures include tackling the trails in Yosemite and summiting peaks in the Sierra Nevada. I also have a passion for traveling—whether it's exploring bustling urban centers or relaxing in quieter, remote destinations. When I’m not on the move, I enjoy diving into nonfiction books, especially those that focus on history, business, and technology.
