Summary

I have done a lot of traveling, lived in four countries, I went to university, got my History degree, I thought I wanted to be a teacher or professor, but ultimately I realized I wanted a simpler life, and I wanted a career with more stability, job security, better pay, and more benefits than academia ever could have given me.


I wish to explain the gaps in employment and/or schooling.


There is a gap between December of 2021 and October of 2022 because I attempted to live in England, it did not work out.


Secondly, I have been unemployed since January of 2024 because I set out to go on one last great adventure before I settled down with a permanent career. I went on the great American road trip, visiting 20 states, 27 national parks, 22,347 miles across 88 days.
