About

I am an industrial design student seeking new and exciting experiences. I am very open minded to new things because that is how we all truly learn and progress; we must empty our cups. One must step out of their comfort zone in order to experience new things. A hard work ethic is a big part of my game. Without it, I would not be where I am today.
