CURRENT MISSION

Smile often and learn every day.

ABOUT ME

I grew up outside of Houston, Texas. I graduated from Rice University in May 2014, worked as a mechanical engineer in Houston for 2 years, and am presently pursuing my masters degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. I currently am doing research in robotics! I love being active and being with my friends. I am very passionate about traveling, and meeting new people and learning about how they live. I want to see as much of the world as possible. I hope to meet many different people and make new friends!

PHILOSOPHY

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
