Cats
These are my cats. I'm really into cats. I used to volunteer with rescuers and adoption organizations in New York.
Cocktails
In addition to aspiring to be a marine biologist, my other childhood dream was to be a bartender. I've always likened cocktails to drinkable chemistry. I've worked in bars in Brooklyn and London, and I continue to maintain an extensive bar in the home, experimenting with concoctions using new and old liquors, liqueurs, bitters, infusions, etc.
Yoga
I'm a 500 hour Yoga Alliance certified Yoga Instructor. I have trained in New York and India, and have taught yoga in New York and London. I was trained in vinyasa and hatha yoga, but have dabbled in hot yoga and Ashtanga. While not currently teaching, I (try) to maintain a short (30 minute) daily practice, including meditation, sun salutations, a standing pose or two, core work, stretches, and of course, savasana.
