in my past (pre-college) life, i was a speech and debater, dancer, artist, amateur youtuber (ask me about my polymer clay channel), and pianist. although admittedly i’ve retained some of these skills less than others, these things heavilyyy influence who i am today. i also love reading about organizational behavior, following baseball (lgm!), and reformer pilates.nothing is more fulfilling to me than creating and sustaining meaningful relationships -- both for myself and others. i love connecting people, whether it's through hosting events or trying to matchmake friends.a good laugh: tinyurl.com/yaymylife
