About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to finish school

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small, suburban, and sheltered college town called Davis in the central valley of California. I have now left this wonderful bubble to attend school in the Bay Area, specifically Berkeley, where I am studying chemical engineering. Just two more years to go until I get out of here. Yay.

Three adjectives that best describe me would probably be: spastic, silly, and intense. I get easily excited over things and can definitely be sort of scatterbrained at times, but am also very focused.

I just finished a 3 month stint in Germany, where I worked and traveled Europe. I had one of the best times of my life, met a shit ton of cool people, couch surfed a lot, but for now, I'm just glad to be back home enjoying normal life again.
