Hobbies

When I'm not working with my students, I love going to the beach, whether it be to get some sun:), take a walk, or just sit on the sand or cliffs watching the water - I am so grateful for this beautiful place that I live in. I also enjoy reading memoirs; although, I typically resort to topics that correlate to my career, such as psychology, mental health, behavior, addiction, disabilities, etc. My main hobby right now is organizing my apartment. A place for everything, and everything in its place!:)
