I ran a marathon, climbed Half Dome in Yosemite, and summited Mount Fuji in the same year.

I was once mistaken for a YouTube personality while eating in a random Manhattan diner at 11:30pm. I still don’t know who that person thought I was.

I once experienced altitude sickness so badly that I had to be carried to the next stop via emergency horse. You read that correctly.

But really, taking pictures and making videos are two of my favorite things in the world and two things that I’ve devoted a lot of time teaching myself. Sorry Mom, it’s not a phase. It’s who I am.
