Primary interests include hiking scenic trails, documenting thoughts on neon sticky notes, and curating Spotify playlists for all situations both real and hypothetical. Known for high daytime energy and a strict 9pm shutdown accompanied by cow slippers.

Dietary contradictions include lactose intolerance paired with unwavering cheese loyalty. Has never been to Taco Bell and intends to keep it that way. Actively dislikes peanut butter and any form of bean. 

Has killed exactly one plant and frankly does not think about it often. Moves quickly and rarely goes anywhere without a clear purpose in mind. Notices simple details when they stop her long enough to do so, like strings of lights, sunsets, or a flower in bloom. Enjoys reading, though most books are disliked until at least a third of the way through. Owns nearly every Just Dance game despite having negative amounts of coordination.

Approach to travel and life remains the same—stay curious, notice the little things, and always plan the next trip before unpacking from the last.
