After School

Outside of work, I am all about exploring new places and trying local cuisines. At home, I love making my mom’s incredible Peruvian recipes, including ceviche and anticucho (try it, trust me). When I am not cooking or traveling, you will find me listening to political podcasts or getting lost in fantasy adventure and sci-fi audiobooks like “Eragon” and “Red Rising.” I am also a huge fan of video games and can watch Star Wars on repeat as if it might cease to exist at any moment!
