The ocean is a magical place with endless potential to energize and heal the mind and body. I have devoted the last six years to making it my second home, and I love every minute I spend in the water. A bit about my surfing background: I love riding longboards and midlengths, and my home breaks are Scripps Pier and 11th Street in Del Mar. As someone who started as an adult beginner, I understand how challenging it can be to get comfortable in the water. Towards the end of my time at UC San Diego, I worked as a surf instructor in the rec program, gaining experience with a structured approach to improving progression. This role allowed me to help others navigate their surfing journey, and I take great joy in sharing my passion and knowledge with fellow surfers.
