PHOTOGRAPHY

In the summer of 2016 I bought a Sony a6000 mirrorless camera and began taking photos. During that summer I fell in love with taking and processing photos, and it remains a passion of mine today.

MOUNTAIN BIKING

I have been riding for the past 10 years, and love both the physical and mental challenges of mountain biking.

QUIDDITCH

After moving to Salt Lake City for college in 2013 I joined the Crimson Elite, a quidditch team at the University of Utah. I played competitive quidditch for four years during my undergraduate career. I was the captain and coach of the Utah Crimson Elite for the 2015/2016 season and led the team to a 3rd place finish at the Western Regional Championships and a playoff bid at the U.S. Quidditch Cup.

In my year as captain and coach of the Crimson Elite I gained valuable leadership and team building experience. I learned a lot about myself as a leader, and about managing a large group to achieve a common goal.

In the summer of 2015, while living and working in Falmouth, MA, I played for the Boston Night Riders. That season the Riders and I won first place in the Major League Quidditch National Championships.
