Interests

Apart from being an aspiring data analyst, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I have ran a half marathon with plans to run a full marathon next year. I am always looking for a new sport to learn and play. Lately, my main sport hobbies have been Pickleball and Ultimate Frisbee.

I also love playing video games such as Minecraft, and watching TV shows. My favorite TV shows are Brooklyn 99, White Collar, Psych, and Stranger Things. Recently, I have gotten into the hobby of solving Rubix Cubes, with aspirations to solve one in under 25 seconds.

I participate actively in my community through various leadership positions in my church.
