ABOUT ME

I'm coming straight out of 4 years of engineering at UC Berkeley and am ready to experience the REAL world. I hope to expand my horizons beyond the college bubble via traveling. I love to learn and desperately hope I will never stop, so if we meet feel free to introduce new thoughts/stories/perspectives/information to me!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe the meaning of life is to be happy. I believe that happiness is best achieved by giving up your ego and practicing compassion. I try to live my life by these basic beliefs.

There is more to life than increasing its speed.
Mahatma Ghandi
