Now.

What I'm focusing on:

  • UX. I am currently working as a UX designer with several clients at Think Company, right now with a nonprofit and a Fortune 500 company.

  • CAPOEIRA. Although I still identify as a dabbler and sampler of different hobbies, I have been consistently practicing Capoeira for the past 7 years, now at Capoeira Guatambu.

  • ACROBATICS. I've been working on floreios (acrobatics) to bring to my capoeira games, although starting as an adult with no gymnastics background has been an interesting journey. The macaco ("monkey") is the first floreio that I fell in love with, and I am also working on my aú de coluna. As part of my acrobatic explorations, I have been training with The Movement Creative, also practicing on my balance and jumps à la parkour (!).

  • LANGUAGE. After focusing on improving my confidence in Korean, I'm leaning into the language-loving side of myself and seeing what it feels to explore to my heart's content. So far, I've learned how to read in Telugu and Greek, and after being a Duolingo skeptic, I am now exploring their offerings and learning Italian.

  • CHESS. During my Duolingo exploration, I fell into a deep chess addiction and have been living in Chess.com since last November. Reviewing my games with the engine has been mindblowingly effective, and my Youtube algorithm will never be the same...
