I like to say that I am a half n half-- meaning I am half introverted and half extroverted. I absolutely love taking advantage what the world has to offer, and you will often find me outside exploring nature and trying new things. Living in California allows me to take advantage of outdoor activities at any point of the year, whether it be wine tasting in the vineyards of Sonoma in the summer, snowboarding in Tahoe in the winter, or basking in the California sun on a warm spring day.

But I am equally into staying at home with my cat, a strong cup of coffee, and a good book. None of my siblings or cousins are around my age, so I learned from early on how to entertain myself. This made me learn to appreciate my surroundings more, finding the beauty in even the most mundane places.

Now, I spend my time being active and travelling whenever possible. I really enjoy weight lifting, running outside, and hiking. I love to visit new places, and have recently checked off New Orleans on my list of Places to Go. Family is my most coveted asset. Every #RD2B needs a solid posse of people to test new recipes on, and I am incredibly lucky mine is my family.
