What inspires you?
People who stand up for others who cannot or are unable to for a variety of reasons. People who show kindness, empathy, and love, even if people's behavior does not always warrant it because it is who they are, what they believe in, and what they want to put into the world.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
I love to be outside, spending time with friends, and enjoying time with my family. I love to hike, read, cook, and do anything artistic.
