Carolyn Chin
I lead an active lifestyle as a marathoner and yogi. My favorite way to see the world is by foot, choosing to race in cities rich in culture – art, architecture, cuisine. My passion is to inspire others through curated experiences of art and architecture, followed by conversation over great food.
Recently relocated to Old Town Pasadena from downtown San Diego in the midst of #StayatHome, there are still opportunities to explore my new city. For now, travel to other cities is virtual.
4 years ago I transitioned from working in the tech industry as an engineer and software tester to a vocation that aligned more closely with my volunteer work as an architecture docent at the Salk Institute and a volunteer for San Diego Architecture Foundation events. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to lead the team planning OH! San Diego, a regional architecture festival in a role that allowed for tremendous personal and professional growth.
Fun facts:
I continue to chase the elusive Boston qualifying time and have finished numerous half marathons and 17 marathons in the US and abroad including: NYC, Chicago, Vancouver and Toronto.
You'll often spot me out and about in restaurants and museums taking way too many iPhone pics for Instagram. The best compliment from a fellow IGer is that I make him see the city in new ways.
