In my free time...
This page lists some of the other things I do outside of my work and research.
AI Fortune Teller

I run a small cat rescue called Artemis House in Miami, Florida. We are a non-profit helping homeless and sick cats and kittens. My dog Artemis runs the show!

Butterfly Gardening
beauty and biodiversity
In Miami, I have discovered the value of having a garden that is full of life. Creating a butterfly garden isn't just about vibrant flowers—it's about nurturing an ecosystem. By planting native species and providing safe havens for pollinators, butterfly gardening supports local biodiversity, offers a peaceful connection to nature, and helps protect fragile insect populations. It's a small act with a big ecological impact—and a daily reminder that transformation is always possible. [More photos to come]
iPhone Photography
It began with me taking pictures of the rescued cats and kittens and has now turned into a hobby—It’s not about perfect shots; it’s about noticing beauty in everyday life and having fun documenting it as I go.
