I am driven to contribute to the expansion of human potential. This ambition has guided me to learn new things and be excited by emerging technology. Whether that technology is a robot that feeds you popcorn or a nuclease that corrects genetic diseases, supporting and developing my community gives me my deepest significance. My curiosity has led me to try a variety of activities including a life-long study of leveraging nature to solve world problems as well as join my collegiate crew team, try new foods and become SCUBA certified. My compassion for people will continue to fuel my creativity in exploring new activities and novel concepts.

I am a visual learner, so here are a few images that will share some things about me.

One of my favorite things about moving North has been the seasons. Growing up in Florida, it is basically Summer for 10 months and then 2 months of mild-Summer. I experienced my first changing of the leaves, apple picking, snow fall, snowman, snow angel, first chirping of birds, and budding of tulips.

I have a deep passion for exploration, whether it’s discovering the park just around the corner or venturing across the globe. Traveling has opened doors to incredible experiences I never imagined possible and has profoundly enriched my perspective on the world.

Exploring includes activities that allows me to discover the world around me in a new angle, whether that’s running/skating/biking through new neighborhoods, or hiking and sliding down new hills/mountains, or dangling upside down.

I love all animals, but especially large dogs that think they are lap dogs.

My birthday is a national holiday in my world. I grew up homeschooled and every year we took off every birthday to celebrate. I will continue to do so.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I was given a sourdough starter and have been making everything from croissants to challah.
