About Me

I am currently an engineering student in the Pratt School of Engineering and a varsity fencer at Duke University. I attended Lincoln High School in Portland, OR (my hometown). I have a sister who is a year younger, and a Golden Doodle (that's a type of dog for those of you know in the know) named Keely. I have to say, I probably miss my dog more than my family (only slightly joking). My interests include the piano, video games, motorcycles, reading and French. However, I hope to study Italien and do an internship at the Ducati factory in Bologna, Italy. While my motorcycle is not here at Duke yet, I ride a Ducati Multistrada 620 Dark.
