One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once did the Stonehenge Summer Solstice overnight festival, where they take down the ropes and let people in all night long. Unfortunately, the year I went was rainy and cold, and the sunrise was overcast, but it was still an unforgettable experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I technically have degrees in math and chemical engineering and have done work in economics, battery development, and fluid dynamics. I also know a few things related to my interests, listed above, and can play the violin. I'm looking to improve my French and Spanish and learn German, as well as learn about different lifestyles and career possibilities, as I have yet to figure out my own goals in life.
