Outside of the Department: My dream is to make my home feel like a little jungle exploded inside it. I love hoarding houseplants, gardening, and taking pictures of tiny flowers. Food is also a big part of my life. I love cooking, feeding people, baking, fermenting things, and experimenting with whatever’s in my fridge. I’m also really into yoga, meditation, hiking, running, going on walks with my cat Zucchini. I cannot wait to go to concerts someday soon and dance my butt off. Detroit has such a great music scene!
