The perfect morning involves: Inferno Hot Pilates at Forge followed by a nourishing breakfast and chilled Yerba Mate tea. The perfect blend of energy to start my day!

Three places I’ve never been that I’d love to visit: As a novice world traveler, I hope to spend a few weeks traveling around Europe. My top three destinations would be exploring the castles in Ireland's Ancient East, spending some time relaxing on the Greek island of Santorini, and ending my travels in the vibrant city of Naples, Italy.

A few of my favorite reads: I am cursed by my love for starting books and never finishing them. Good Omens was the last book I finished. 10/10 read.

Describe a favorite home ritual: My favorite home ritual is a simple one. The process of resetting my home each morning is one that never fails to bring me a sense of peace and accomplishment. Making my bed, returning any surface clutter to its home and setting the pillows, and the throw blanket perfectly on my couch.

Pet’s name, and one word to describe them: Doom (Stinky), my tuxedo cat. "Mischievous".

Guilty pleasure: Getting cozy on the couch at the very end of a long day with my partner Elijah, watching whatever TV series we're currently obsessed with. It's not too exciting, but it is something I look forward to.

A fave outdoor spot, bar and restaurant in PDX: One of the amazing things about Portland is our access to so many lovely parks and hiking trails. It's hard to decide on just one! My favorite bar would be Hey Love for the ambiance and Victoria Bar for the variety and quality of drinks. My go-to restaurant would have to be Eem or Afuri Izakaya, depending on the vibe of the evening.
