When I'm not researching human behavior, I love staying active outdoors. Running has been a joy for me over the years—I've completed 16 marathons, various trail runs, triathlons and an Ironman 70.3. I also enjoy cycling, swimming, and exploring nature, whether along the ocean, through canyons, or at my local pool. Swimming has been a special part of my journey since childhood, including some fun times on my college swim team during undergrad.
I'm also passionate about traveling and learning from different cultures. My work and adventures have taken me to five continents, giving me wonderful chances to explore diverse perspectives and connect with people around the world.
I also enjoy diving into technology in my spare time. I've taught myself R Studio, Python, and web scraping—finding joy in discovering how these tools can enhance my work.
