I was born and raised in Los Alamos, a small town in northern New Mexico. My desire to see the world brought me to The University of Texas at Dallas, then to China and Washington, DC. I've built skills to analyze international issues both through political-economic and business lenses.
Following graduation in December 2019, I intend to build my international experience by working in the East Asia region and then return to the United States for a graduate degree in international economics. In the long-term, I hope to be contributing to the policy-making process for US foreign policy.
