Passionate about many things, I recognise and am grateful for the fact that I have a wonderful life, I feel incredibly fortunate to have a career that is both emotionally rewarding and provides financial security. Most importantly,I am grateful to have work that is intellectually stimulating and to be able to feel that my work really matters in the lives of others.Striving for balance (although often an elusive ideal), I cherish time off for fun and adventure. One of my primary passions is spending time in travelling to explore new places going to a production at the DCPA, trying a new restaurant, listening to music.

i love cooking and travelling is one of my best hobbies,i have being to Hong Kong; exploring the great pyramids of Egypt; climbing the temples of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom in Cambodia; navigating the jungle of the Yucatan; tracing America's military past through Saigon; road-tripping down the PCH; taking in the gardens of the ancient Korean palaces of Seoul; relaxing seaside in Laguna Beach; perusing renowned works of art in the Louvre in Paris, the British National Portrait Gallery in London, the Uffizi in Florence, and the Vatican Museum in Rome; convening with nature at the San Diego Zoo and in Balboa Park in SD; hanging out on the beaches of Australia; imbibing in the peacefulness of the Buddhist temples of Bangkok; and traipsing throughout the great cities of Europe)
