I'm a policy analyst and researcher.
I ride or die for my community and family.
I love spending time with people and I enjoy occasionally using words in front of large groups of them.
I cherish the zen of brewing and enjoying coffee via Hario v60.
I get lost in music often.
I enjoy a kick about on a finely trimmed grass field and rooting for Manchester United.
I like to travel.
I like cold bodies of water.
I love to read, consume knowledge, and have many thoughts on many subjects.
I hold my (many) strong beliefs loosely and love a hearty dialogue about it all.
I’m still friends with my first friend in life.
I’m privileged to be the first person to see two separate friends’ newborns.
I’m a home sou chef ft. the Nigara Hamono VG10 Gyuto 210
If I can’t get out of it, I get into it.
I caught a stranger’s cell phone on a rollercoaster.
I gave talks that angered white conservative evangelicals, and I’d do it again.
I convinced my friends to adopt a dog and 20 hours later they had a dog. His name is Jazz.
I like attending concerts closely followed by or just prior to air travel (Coldplay, Laufey, BTS, Suga, Keshi). I like the turbulence.
I ran a marathon.
I’ve been to Asia more than 20 times.
If you ask and if I can, I will drive you to the airport, JFK, LAX, PDX.
It’s my passion
