Who are you?

I'm a graduate student in aerospace engineering from Irvine, California. When I'm not riding, I enjoy flying small planes, playing piano, and woodworking.

Why bikes?

I like cycling because I like to go fast. I had a road bike throughout high school but got more serious during my freshman year at Purdue with the Cycling Club.

Favorite route?

My favorite route at Purdue is from my apartment to Domino's pizza, which is about a 2 minute walk but a 15 second ride. At home in southern California, my favorite place to ride is along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Favorite bike?

My favorite bike is my road bike, a Canyon Ultimate. I especially like working on it and cleaning it.

Best ride snack

Bananas

Favorite PCC memory

My favorite memory was my first time traveling to a race with the team! It was so fun to being in everyone’s company and supporting each other during the races.
