"Something I am proud of that is not on my resume is that I have a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I am proud of this accomplishment because it took me ten years of hard work and dedication to receive my belt. I enjoy keeping in shape and knowing how to defend myself in a non-violent manner. For the last two years, I have competed in the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Brazil and won second and third place in my weight class."

"I am an animal lover with several pets of my own! Growing up, I had traditional pets, but also lizards and birds, and I loved caring for each of them. In my spare time, I volunteer with local animal rehoming centres, and I do a lot of the photography to post on the website so that animals have a better chance of being adopted or fostered. I have such a passion for animals and love supporting animal welfare groups in the community."
