Hi there! I am a Data Analyst living in NYC with a love for all things stationery and journaling! I started in the hobby at the start of the pandemic and it is just something that has stuck. Originally I started journaling as a means to cope with depression and anxiety, before I started therapy and its just a habit that has stuck around as I continue to work on myself and cope with complex PTSD. Lately I have also found myself spending some time reading personal development books on my kindle, like Atomic Habits (which I have been meaning to get a paperback copy of to annotate), among other books around mindfulness and when I have gotten bored of those I have either switched over to Psychological Thrillers or worked on learning some additional coding on Coursera. Aside from that, I am an avid runner, currently running a 5k a day with hopes of building up to a marathon in the future, wish me luck!
