Interests

Aside from my academic and professional life, I enjoy Poker. I run a free online poker game several times a week for a pool of over 30 players. I also helped run the University of Edinburgh Poker Society where we managed hundreds of players and large cash prize pools for poker games and tournaments.

I love getting outdoors and exercising. Recently I've been surfing, running, and rock climbing, but I'm always open to trying new stuff! I have also been playing both guitar and piano for over ten years. I am particularly interested in jazz piano and folk/bluegrass guitar. I have played in multiple bands and enjoy songwriting in my free time.
