I was born and raised in the Bay Area and consider myself so lucky to be able to move back and work here in the city. I went to Georgetown University in Washington DC for my BA, where I double majored in Arabic and Government (IR). I also dabbled in some computer science along the way but that's another story. My favorite experience recently was living in the Middle East for a year trying to improve my Arabic (not sure how successful I was) and exploring and learning about the region. I love bike riding in the South Bay, rock climbing or skiing near Tahoe in the winter. I stumbled into triathlon my last year of college but I actually spent the majority of my time in college rowing, rock climbing and leading outdoor trips as a guide. I grew up around big dogs and regularly cared for them as family and friends went on trips, needed an extra set of hands etc. I also have cared for/been around dogs in training to be service dogs for veterans. I lead an active lifestyle so I’ll be able to handle whatever you’re furry friend throws at me, but I also am more than happy to just hang out with them too.
