I am a Minnesota native with an undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin. I am passionate about financial markets and environmental sustainability and hope to pursue the relation and interdependence between these subjects over the next two years. My career has spanned from the financial sector, where I worked as a software developer for a liquidity provider in Chicago, to a position with the Federal Government as a cloud engineer for the U.S. Geological Survey in Montana, to an organic vegetable farmer in rural California. I have volunteered abroad to help build school infrastructure in rural Nepal. This sparked my passion for sustainable development internationally. I am excited to expand upon my knowledge and experience and improve my ability to contribute to international development alongside my cohorts and faculty here at the Humphrey School.
