My Interests

Golf 

For the past few years, I coached the UT Dallas golf team. However, prior to this, I played for the women’s golf team for all four years of my Undergraduate Education. I have been playing golf for ten years, and I have played competitively for the entirety of those ten years. It is the hardest yet most rewarding hobby. The unique thing about this sport is that it mirrors the ambiguous path of life more closely than any sport. As in any circumstance, I enter my competitive rounds seeking feedback. If I perform above expected, I build confidence. If I perform below expected, I get excellent feedback, which gives me the opportunity to improve and better prepare for my next round. Since graduating I am constantly recruited to participate in scrambles where I can hit a long drive from the Women's Tees! Playing golf is a life long commitment I do not intend to it give up!

Piano

I am also a self-taught pianist. Though I am by no means a professional, I do enjoy learning new pieces to stimulate my brain. My absolute favorite pianist and composer is Ludovico Einaudi. He composes such beautiful pieces that deeply resonate with me. I also love the way he plays. You can see the emotional depth he pours into each note and chord. I like to believe that I experience a similar passion when I play. Below is my personal interpretation of Einaudi’s Dietro Casa. I have also included my current favorite Ludovico Einaudi composition, Andare, performed by Einaudi himself.
