I am a recent college graduate, interested in traveling and learning more about different cultures/people. I really enjoy experiencing new things and going on adventures. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Benin and am active with Engineers Without Borders. I like using engineering to help those in need. An added bonus is getting to visit new places and learn about different cultures (and eat new food!).
