CURRENT MISSION

Having adventures and new experiences in life.

ABOUT ME

I just moved to Huntsville, Alabama after living in Seattle my whole life. I work for Boeing as a Materials and Process Engineer supporting a NASA rocket.

Before moving to Huntsville, I was on a year long sabbatical after getting laid off from my old job. During the pandemic, I went traveling in Croatia, Turkey, Egypt, and Mexico for 6 months and had such an incredible time.
