The Machine

Growing up, my dad had more motorcycles than people in the house. Most evenings ended in the garage, side by side, swapping parts, tuning engines, and adding mods.

The Ride

I got my motorcycle license the same day as my driver’s license, and I have always been drawn to super sport bikes. My current ride is a Kawasaki Ninja 636CC Anniversary Edition.

The Feeling

There’s nothing like leaning into a turn, every muscle focused, every movement precise. The world blurs at the edges, and for a few seconds, it’s just you, the bike, and the road. That’s the moment that makes me feel alive.

Fun Fact: I have rebuilt this same bike piece by piece, replacing every part with my dad.

Water Sports

The ocean has always felt like a second home.

I grew up in the water, first as a swimmer, then battling it out in varsity water polo through high school. When I moved to UCSB, the beach became part of who I was.

Whether it’s surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, or just swimming laps, I chase that same feeling of freedom the water has always given me.

Fun Fact: In undergrad, sunset walks on the beach became a daily ritual with my friends. It something so simple but it made every day unforgettable.

Snowboarding

Ever since I was little, my family would make winter trips to Lake Tahoe where I learned to Ski and Snowboard.

On one of my recent trips there was a huge blizzard, and I couldn't even see 2 feet away from me with the amount of snow. It was such a crazy experience snowboarding.

Fun Fact: Since 2018, my friend group from High School does an annual Tahoe Trip every year around new years. Its our annual meet up to keep in touch!

Flavors of the Month

Things I'm Learning how to do!

Boxing: I started going to a boxing gym and sparring with one of my friends when I started medical school!

Skateboarding: During COVID, me and a few of my friends watched a video of a guy doing tricks on a skateboard and we were like: "yeah we can do that" (spoiler: we couldn't) so we learned how to skateboard.

Golf: I recently started playing gold and have been working on my swing in the driving range. I would appreciate any tips!
