I have moved onto an exceptional phase of my life. These days I wake up without an alarm clock and head outdoors for a morning walk. Three days a week, you can find me at the gym pumping iron to remain strong and fit. On weekends, I may jump into the deep end of the pool (all of 5 ft.) and proceed to do laps.Besides staying in shape, my passions include everything French (reading and speaking), meeting with like-minded Francophiles locally and via Zoom, travelling, and learning guitar. Those of you who have shared a meal with me know that I enjoy plant-based eating, and so I happily spend creative time preparing delicious meals for myself and my husband, Kuttu. What's more, my interest in food issues has led me to volunteer weekly with projects that seek to alleviate food insecurity for local San Diego neighbors.
