Love of Community

Team chipping together to fix a boat after the Tahoe Regatta in 2011.

University of California, Santa Cruz Rowing Team

I rowed with the UCSC Rowing Team for three years while attending the university. I raced and won races in Tahoe, Sausalito, and Santa Cruz. I absolutely love rowing and look forward to a future home on a lake or by the sea where I can continue rowing.

SKEuro Car Club, Monterey, CA

Bi-monthly, I drive down to Monterey to get together with a bunch of European car enthusiasts. I enjoy getting to know everyone and their diverse backgrounds and careers. I’ve built friendships with those from all around the world and from many different career focuses including education, engineering, and interior design.

Dog and Cat TLC Volunteer @ Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter

I started volunteering here my first year at UC Santa Cruz and I continued volunteering for the next two years. I spent most of my free time at the shelter caring for the animals and helping to get them adopted to wonderful new homes.
