ABOUT ME

I enjoy campfires, trailmix, and being surrounded by quality individuals. Though I live in NYC for career purposes and thoroghly enjoy living here, I often miss being surrounded by trees in the Pacific Northwest where I'm from originally, and thus hope to visit there as much as possible.

Interests

I'm an architecture student, which takes up the bulk of my time. However when I'm not designing you'll probably find me outside; frisbeeing, climbing rocks, and biking are my favorite outdoor activities. Music has always been my go-to. I play many instruments, but the Guitar is my weapon of choice. I have been playing for many years and enjoy playing jazz music the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performing at the Lincoln Center for Essentially Ellington with my high-school Jazz band was absolutely surreal. It inspired me to move to New York. Also, studying architecture at the Pratt Institute has been the most challenging, and enriching things I've done. Having grown up on an island (Whidbey Island), making the switch to city-life has forced me to change in so many ways, for better or for worse.
