CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

After working in consulting for three years, I left my job and went back to school. I'm now working on my masters degree in Urban Planning at UCLA. This summer I'm interning at the Chinese Academy of Urban Planning and Design in Shanghai, and afterward trying to do some traveling before returning to school. I'm interested in visiting different cities, meeting people from different cultures, and learning about how people view and interact with the world.
