Hobbies
I am interested in amateur astronomy and have my own telescope. (8" dobsonian) Consider myself very much an amateur in the area though. I'm into video games and board games with my friends. I love teaching and it's why I chose the career I did. There's lots of other cool jobs I thought about (I personally think it'd be cool to work at someplace like NASA or SpaceX), but from feedback from my students, I felt I should stay in teaching.
