Other Interests

In my spare time, I love jogging outdoors. It is very refreshing, and gives me some time to enjoy the natural beauty. The trails around the UCSC campus have amazing views. I have completed five half-marathons, and I am looking forward to my first half-marathon at Santa Cruz. My other passion is learning about different cultures, and making new friends.
