Curriculum Vitae

Background

Born in Maryland, I followed my parents around the world as my mother served the US Department of State as a diplomat and my father an entrepreneur. Spending time in Africa, Asia, and Europe - I’ve never truly known where to call home, but I do have a strong appreciation for other people and their cultures. Having visited 60 countries, I feel enormously grateful to have had such a holistic upbringing. Earliest achievements I am the most proud of: making the rank of Eagle Scout despite scouting in 4 different countries, International Award Bronze and Silver level, and participating in THIMUN 3 times.

Education

I received a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Systems Engineering with a focus in entrepreneurship from Cornell University (Ithaca, NY).

Sports

I spend as much time as I can outside. Hiking, climbing, mountain biking, and snowboarding are my seasonally dependent go-to’s. I’ve participated in a variety of club sports over the years, including soccer, tennis, dodgeball, and as the founder of the Fox Point Booters, a competitive league team in Providence, RI.

Hobbies

When I’m not outside I spend a lot of my time buried in papers, videos, and instructional documentation in engineering and determining engineering solutions to major world problems. I have also played competitive darts, foosball, and a bit of axe throwing.
