Photography

I enjoy photography because it’s a creative break from the work I do day to day. It lets me step outside, explore new places, and document moments that feel meaningful or visually interesting. I like the process of trying to capture a scene in just the right way—playing with angles, lighting, and framing until it feels right. It’s also a way for me to learn from others and see how different people approach the same subject with completely different styles. At the end of the day, it’s something I do because it’s fun, relaxing, and gives me a reason to slow down and look at the world a little differently.

I hope you enjoy this small selection of my photos :)

Reading List

I’ve been making a more intentional effort to read regularly, both as a way to slow down and to engage more deeply with ideas outside of my day-to-day work. Recently, I’ve read a mix of books that reflect my interests across science and broader cultural themes, which has helped me rediscover how rewarding consistent reading can be. Building on that momentum, I’ve put together a yearly reading list and I’m hoping this list will help me maintain the habit while continuing to explore new perspectives and styles.

I’m hoping to return to this page and mark those that I’ve finished reading in bold.
