Now 🥂

(Aka… What I might tell a friend I haven’t talked in a year)

It is Halloween 2026! Yes it’s been 3 years since I’ve updated this… Don’t judge!

After some months of not feeling the best, I’m feeling awesome now! As one of my friends said, I’m definitely hobby-maxing now. I started a Yoga Teacher Training which has gone beyond my wildest expectations. I feel so inspired and connected with all that I’m learning and the community I get to be with during this time. In addition, I started taking some beginner improv classes and it is so fun! My teacher repeatedly talks about the power of improv on neuroplasticity and creativity. The goal is to get my prefrontal cortext to take a break :)

I am reading my prior updates and I’m pleased to say that I have been able to keep up the running. I even have run 10k a couple times (genuinely only twice haha!) and it’s wonderful to have that be a thing I do for the sake of my mental health.

We’ve officially been in the Northeast now for a couple years… And we’re married - woohoo! My heart has been full being near our families and dear friends.

“I am also SO excited to be closer to my family and friends!! And NATURE.” - Last Update. So cool to see. Now I get to be a mile from the beach and see all my favorite people all the time!

I intend to return to this site and project with how full my cup has been feeling. I really believe in it and want to work on it. Grace when I can’t, but trying to simplify things so I’m not so afraid and can overcome the perfectionistic habits. Stay tuned :)


TL;DR: Life is great. Heart is full. Hobby-maxxxxxing ;)



🙋🏽‍♀️ Questions on my mind 🤔 :
  • How can you design AI to support responsible use? (Decision Support UX)
  • What is the impact of AI on the mind, particularly mental health and education?
  • How can you enable people early in their career to sharpen their skills as AI does the work often attained through these early career opportunities?

Some not so AI based questions:

  • How do you build community?
  • What is the impact of improv on creativity?
