Side Quests

Indie Book Author
In 2018, I wrote, designed, and published a book called Inside Fandoms and Conventions as a guide to fans and first time comic con goers. Whether you’re a fan or simply trying to understand what motivates a fan, you will find valuable information in this book.

Traveler
Every since I was young, I’ve always been curious about the world. One of my bucket list is to see an elephant! This was at "Elephant Sanctuary" in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Despite their size, the elephants were adorable and gentle. So far, I’ve been to 15 countries and counting!
03
Taekwondo
I learned basic Taekwondo with my friends in Seoul. It requires a lot of energy and kicking, but it was still a fun experience! Taekwondo's philosophy focuses on discipline, self-improvement, and perseverance I learned a lot from this experience.
