What is an ordinary moment in your life that brings you joy?

Seeing my flowers bloom or new growth/leaves on my plants.

What do you most like to do to unwind?

I like to cook or bake while listening to a podcast or a good playlist.

What has been your favorite work or personal project so far?
My new place has a small backyard and lots of sunlight so I have been able to invest my time into houseplants keeping/gardening. So far, I have cultivated a small garden with a few veggies and herbs. I also love “rescuing” sad houseplants from the grocery/big box store (or I’d like to call them “plant shelters”) and bringing them back to life.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?  

I am a self-taught calligraphy artist.

One thing you’re willing to spend way too much on...

Anything for my dog, Chester. He is very spoiled.

Which TV show do you never miss?

Kim’s Convenience is my go-to comfort show. It’s about a lovely Korean family that runs a small convenience store in Canada. Highly recommend it!
