Outside academia, Mason is a pet parent to a senior rescue chihuahua named Honey. (The name is ironic because she is not sweet, nor is she honey-colored.) They are also a verified member of the BeyHive, have been a top 500 listener of Kelly Clarkson (at least) three years running. They enjoy reading on their Kindle, and if anyone asks, it is absolutely not smut, only high literature. Mason has also been trying to learn French since 2024.
