Who am I?
Sometimes, I don’t know the answer to that question. But, a few hats I fall under are student (at UIUC and for life), technologist, agriculturist, Catholic, business owner, mentor, mentee, percussionist, fitness enthusiast, Python advocate, member of FarmHouse Fraternity, and peanut butter powder fanatic.
Hobbies
When I am not working on school, I’m usually working out, repairing devices, working on the startup, or hanging out at the Newman Center. I’m also in the steel pan band at UIUC and have a dual-degree in Innovation, Leadership, and Engineering Entrepreneurship (ILEE). I occasionally find time to read (Brave New World is my favorite book), enjoy cooking relatively simple foods without added sugar, playing all sorts of sports (volleyball is a favorite), and trying new things!
Fun Fact
You won’t really find me active on any social media platforms (with a small presence on LinkedIn) since I think social media and our phones are some of the worst things to happen to humanity since I have been alive, despite their usefulness. If you need to get in touch, head over to the contact page, and please don’t waste my time 🙂
Event Highlight: Halloween Costume Concert
Some of my friends and I dressed up for my steel pan concert on Halloween!
