mountainbiking
I've been mountain biking since I was 4 years old, and racing since I was 6. Since then, I've participated in multiple interscholastic teams, even helping to start one locally when I was 14. My final high school races occured in the spring of 2025, but I'll continue my mountainbiking career well past highschool.
teaching
Teaching is a strong passion of mine. I spend 3 nights a week acting as a coach for the next generation of youth riders on the team that I helped create. I usually work with our high school race-focused group, but I'm always happy to help wherever I'm needed. Additionally, I've spent a great deal of time tutoring and learning how to optimally teach. I spent nearly every day during my senior high school year either working with students in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Trigonometry, or refining my teaching skills. I've also privately tutored students online, creating lesson plans and curating practice problems.
sim racing
I really like cars. Consequently, I spend a lot of my free time racing/driving virtually. I own a racing wheel (nothing fancy, but I'm not complaining!) and play Assetto Corsa, BeamNG Drive, Dirt Rally 2.0, and more! Here's a short clip of me "rallying" a Porsche 911 Weissach on an Assetto Corsa touge map (look at that beautiful slide @ 0:20).
