What is your favorite aspect of light?
My favorite aspect of light is that it is intangible.
What motivates and inspires you?
What motivates me is when I see people care. When people care, that means there is love and that inspires me to be a better person.
If you could only have one mode of transportation for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Walking would be the one. It is stress relieving and free!
If you had everyone over to your house for dinner, what would you prepare?
I would order Tibetan food for delivery. I live in a neighborhood where there is a Tibetan community, and it is usually a nice treat for people who travel over.
