A small escape.
I enjoy a weekend trip, a walk somewhere new, and finding a good bakery along the way.

A good story, time to move, and somewhere new to wander. A few things I enjoy outside of work.

I’m drawn to stories that help me understand people a little better.
02 / FINDING MY BALANCEMaking time to move.
Making time to move.
And time to slow down.
Pilates, yoga, and barre are part of my life outside of work. I love having a mix: focused movement, a little energy, and the stillness of a Yin + Sound class.
These are a few places I return to around Jersey City and nearby Hoboken, alongside favorites across New York.
04 / A CITY CLOSE TO MY HEART
My Beijing.
I spent over ten years in this city. Here’s the guide I’d share with a friend: palace rooftops, quiet hutong turns, and something good to eat along the way.
