Summary

I am an outgoing engager experienced in using many different tools, including personal, first-hand experience, to broaden scopes and enhance perspectives. I thrive in interactive environments that allow me to meet and build connections with new people and constantly learn from the people life brings my way. In my free time, I enjoy skiing, running, cooking, and getting lost in a good book.
