Interests

I enjoy hiking, cycling, yoga, and spending time with my dog exploring the Bay Area, where I have lived for almost 20 years. I grew up in a border town in Texas where I learned Spanish. I love travel in general and have had the good fortune to travel to many countries, and especially Spanish-speaking countries where I have a deep affinity for the language and culture.
