About

Born and raised in Boulder, Colorado, I grew up skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. I will be graduating from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts in May of 2018 with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Political Science. At Tufts, I play varsity softball, captain the ski team, and lead pre-orientation backpacking trips for incoming students.
