CURRENT MISSION

Experiencing the world and broadening my own perspectives

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler. A student. An engineer. An artist. A photographer. A philosopher. A musician. A scientist. Mostly a student.

Native of Washington, DC.

Student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. I study chemical engineering and biology.

I love dogs.

I'm vegetarian.

I was raised in a military family so I moved around a lot as a kid, perhaps this explains my wanderlust?

PHILOSOPHY

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

Mahatma Gandhi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting Bill Gates, fantastic moment of my life. He is such a down to earth kind of guy. And he shared so much insight into entrepreneurship and finding success while still making the world a better place.

Getting into MIT, pretty life changing...

Attending church service at Notre Dame, such an incredibly powerful experience. I wouldn't consider myself strictly religious, but I am very spiritual and the history and devotion seen in these old European churches is something that is so moving and beautiful to me.
