Culinary Arts

Cooking is how I explore other cultures. My signature is the croquembouche, a tower of cream puffs held together with caramel. The one recipe I'm still chasing is my mother's Japanese curry.

Track 7 In the studio

Music

Music has always been a big part of my life. I grew up playing piano, violin, and clarinet, studied tabla and sitar in college, and picked up guitar as a New Year’s resolution after graduating. And karaoke is non-negotiable.

Video Editing

I cut short films and content in Final Cut Pro. In high school, I made a comedy short where I played every character.
