Reading

How I Read

I walk four miles to and from work every day, and I spend nearly all of it listening to audiobooks. It's one of my favorite parts of the day. Also love my Kobo ereader passionately.

Favorite books: The Count of Monte Cristo, The Brothers Karamazov
Favorite movies: Almost Famous, The Social Network, Across the Spider-Verse

Values

◈

Being Intentional

I like having a sense of direction - setting goals, daily journaling, and making sure my day-to-day life lines up with what I actually care about.

♥

Friends and Family

I have three brothers and a sister, and I'm right in the middle. Staying close with them and with my friends matters a lot to me, as does being someone they can rely on.

☍

Consistency

I try to be a good listener and someone who doesn't rush things. A lot of what I've done has just come from sticking with things longer than most.
