Beyond Work
What keeps me going outside the office and the classroom.
Sports
FC BarcelonaI have supported FC Barcelona since I was a kid. What keeps me with the club is the mix of clear structure and freedom on the ball, a long history of excellence, and a strong sense of identity rooted in its socios and community.
My Journey
I have played soccer since I was five, starting in my living room kicking a ball with my dad. I joined my first team at seven and have played competitively and recreationally ever since. Today, I play as a striker for Kellogg FC at Northwestern.
Recently I picked up running and pickleball. I am training for a half-marathon and using these sports to stay in shape, stay competitive, clear my head, and meet people outside the classroom and office.
