OTA.COM 23 Who or what do you look to for inspiration, and why? I’ve always been inspired by the sensory experiences that our planet offers—the vibrancy of a sunset, the smell of forest air, the feel of an ocean wave washing over me. More recently, I’m inspired by the interconnectivity and brilliance of our planet’s systems. There are amazing frameworks there for us to emulate and so much wisdom for us to learn from. What fuels you? What are your passions outside work and study? Play and time outdoors fuel me (bonus points for both at the same time). I wish I could play beach volleyball every single day, and I’m starting to learn to play tennis. I love swimming in the ocean and feel serenely centered after a hike. Cooking is a favorite hobby too, when I have time to relax and really enjoy it. I’m always looking for opportunities to exercise creative expression, and of late, I’ve done that through dance, drawing, and fiber arts.
