Interests


I started skating in freshman year of college. Currently working on honing my ollies, and looking at manuals & 150s next! Can't shuvit for my life though..
I'm currently reading Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and 1Q84. I'm a huge fan of magical realism -- an all-time favorite of mine is The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake.
There's so many good TV shows and movies right now.
Current watches: Snowpiercer, Insecure, Wandavision
Recent faves: I May Destroy You, Fleabag, Haunting of Hill House, Schitt's Creek
Hip hop and K-pop dance have always been interests (and preferred form of cardio) of mine. I'm very much still a beginner, but I do enjoy learning other people's awesome choreography.
Lately, I'm trying to give back more. Some resources I use are Charity Navigator and GiveWell. Also, Amazon Smile to have a percentage of your Amazon purchase donated to a charity of your choosing! I'm hoping to get back into community service as well.
I LOVE food and cooking. My tuna melts, chicken pasta, and guacamole are my pride and joy, and I'm always looking to learn new dishes.
