I am an enthusiast of world cuisines and love trying new restaurants and discovering new dishes from various cultures. I also enjoy traveling with my family and exploring new cities within the continental U.S., other countries, and cultures. I find joy in gardening, nurturing plants from seed to bloom. I love creating vibrant, green spaces that bring beauty and tranquility, whether cultivating flowers for their color and fragrance, or herbs and vegetables for fresh, homegrown produce. Similarly, I enjoy floral design, creating arrangements to surprise family and friends on special occasions.
