ABOUT ME

I'm a California native whose spent a bit of time in Silicon Valley living the tech life. I left the Valley and California to explore more of the world!

People say that I am laid back and really easy to be around. I like to make sure that the people around me are having fun and/or are happy.

I was recently admitted to the Erasmus Mundus to study computational logic all around Europe. I'm super excited to be back. I spent my junior year of high school in Zaragoza, Spain living with a Spanish family there. I learned SO, SO much from that experience and had the time of my life. Ever since, I've been wanting to return to Europe and check it all out.

Being kind usually pays off in the end. Get bad things out of your life. Take risks, make mistakes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would have to say either living in Spain when I was 16 or working in Silicon Valley. My experience in Spain had an enormous positive impact on my maturity and ability to sympathize with other culture and viewpoints. I also had a huge amount of fun. It was one of the happiest times of my life.

Silicon Valley is great. I feel so privileged to have been able to work at Apple and Linkedin. Everything there feels so open and progressive, I felt like I could truly be myself. Ultimately, I found it to be too inward looking, which is sort of typical for things in the United States.
