I was born, raised, and educated in California and am currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work full-time in structural engineering, spending most of my hours thinking about earthquakes and other hazards or risks the built environment may face. Outside the office, I enjoy being outdoors and having good conversations with friends. I've been lucky enough to backpack Southeast Asia, South America, and Europe for a few months at a time and am excited to explore more Southeast Asia this winter.
