PROFILE

I am a versatile entrepreneurship, education, and nonprofit professional interested in technological development, analyzing data, interviewing people, reading and writing, tutoring, and taking photos and videos. I am a graduate of the University of Virginia, a public university founded by the author of the Declaration of Independence, and I received dual degrees in the liberal arts and sciences from the school. I believe in the core values of lifelong learning and a renaissance education, which the founder of the University of Virginia taught and shared with both students and the country’s citizens. I also recognize that there have been injustices in our history, and I work daily to contribute to a more equitable world.
