CURRENT MISSION

I want to be able to pack up everything I own into a single suitcase.

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from grad school with my master's degree in Mechanical Engineering in May. I'm pretty burned out from school, so I'm relaxing this summer before I begin my career and hoping to travel as much as I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Before starting grad school I spent a year volunteering at an orphanage in Honduras. It was, hands down, one of the best experiences of my life. If we meet, you can ask me about it!

Also, the view atop Jungfrau summit in Switzerland was the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life! I highly recommend it!
