INTERESTS
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Self-fulfillment
I enjoy community service by volunteering for professional committees, advising university student clubs, church and the community. My passion for community service started from my involvement with Lambda Theta Nu Sorority Inc.
WORLD TRAVEL
Personal Preference
After a serious car accident during my undergraduate years, I had a new perspective on time and action. I embraced that I am the “author” of my life, believed that the world was mine…. and I had choices. So I chose to travel, live and work abroad and see the world, which humbled me, but mostly, I was empowered as I learned diverse perspectives. I definitely have a greater appreciation of my American identity since I experienced a lot of prejudice for being an “American”.
In summer 2017, I spent five weeks visiting friends (more like family) in Germany, Austria, and France.

RUNNING
Up for the Challenge
I'm a runner and have completed six marathons and dozens of half-marathons. During my runs I prepare for the day or week and I'm able to visualize and plan goals. No matter what mood I'm in, I always feel better after a run. While I lived abroad, I always made sure to live near beautiful places for long distance running:
Parc de Sports, Choisy le Roi, Paris
In Flagstaff, Arizona I run along the Flagstaff Urban Trails
When in Phoenix, Arizona, I run at South Mountain Park
In Fort Collins, Colorado, I run Horsetooth Resevoir https://horsetooth-half.com/
