About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, cook the perfect corn dog, and find my place in the universe

ABOUT ME

I'm an extrovert trapped in an introverts body. I tend to spend most of my time alone reading non-fiction because there is always something new to learn about. However, I have come to appreciate the importance of communication skills for anyone who wants to achieve something big. I joined Toastmaster's a few months ago and it has been a wonderful (and sometimes terrifying) experience. I just finished my doctorate in engineering and am looking forward to the next stage of my life which I am determined will be entrepreneurial in nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to do something big and enjoy the journey even if it doesn't go how I planned.

Interests

I'm am really looking forward to the world cup this summer despite the terrible draw for the US. In addition to talking about the usual stuff like current events and movies, I have some quirky interests like fountain pens and economics. I'm also interested in motorcycles, reading, science & technology, and public speaking.
