Overview
About Me
I spend a lot of time thinking about climate change and politics. I enjoy a good book, some good espresso, and a short hike. I’m very outgoing and enjoy making friends wherever I go. When I’m not excitedly telling a story, I’m actively listening. I try to be intentional about how I live my life and how I spend my time. I meditate when I can, remind family and friends of my gratitude, and remain curious about everything.
I just took a new job as an Associate at a socially responsible investment firm in Seattle. I’m excited to connect money to what matter, leveraging markets to help create a more just, sustainable world.
I spend a lot of time with my family. I have an older brother and sister who act as pillars in my life’s pursuits.
I studied economics and history at Willamette University, and I remain deeply interested in those topics. I hope to pursue an advanced degree in a year or two.
