A Little Bit More About Me

Bio

Born in South San Francisco and raised in Mountain View, I am proud to call the Bay Area my home. And I’m just as proud to be a Giants fan! I have played baseball since I was five years old. Having the opportunity to work with the Giants post-grad was awesome, I always wanted to be part of the team! Since then I have found myself in Portland, OR trying to get used to the "light" rain.

In a pre-COVID-19 world, I loved to travel. In 2019, I visited New Zealand and Australia and saw the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Texas. As soon as it’s safe to travel I’m headed to Mexico. A pandemic hobby I picked up is cooking. I’m in search for the best Korean Fried Chicken recipe, the crunch is key.

A perfect “day in the life” starts with a walk with my dog, Kenai (pictured on the right), a 7 year old Newfoundland mix and a Belvita breakfast bar (not sponsored).
