Cooking
I grew up in the kitchen with my mother and grandmothers, and I've taken advanced culinary classes for the past three years — learning everything from scrambled eggs to French macarons and croissants. I enjoy cooking family style too. Lately I've gotten into cooking for performance: the right carbs before a game, protein after, and ways to make fueling for a season actually enjoyable instead of a chore.
Sewing
My grandmother taught me to sew when I was a little girl — our first project was a pink dress for my doll, Violet. I started formal classes at seven, and I've been sewing since: sweatpants, denim skirts, bikinis and I do my own mending. In high school I ran a small handmade scrunchie business on the side. There's a real satisfaction in making something with your own two hands.
