Why I do what I do...

When I was in the fourth grade I read a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt and it was over for me. I knew, immediately, that history was my passion. Then, in high school, I had an amazing World History teacher that encouraged my love of history and pushed me to pursue my dream of teaching.

My favorite hobby is cooking and trying new foods. I am currently learning how to make traditional Japanese dishes and enjoying them with my family. My grandmother grew up in Tokyo and it is a really wonderful (and fun!) experience learning how to create the foods of our culture. When I am not cooking I enjoy working on logic problems and puzzles, and hiking with my friends.
