I came to the MLPD program as the third step on my career path. I graduated from Texas Christian University in 2015 with a Bachelors in Geology and Environmental Science. I began work as an energy broker traveling throughout the Southwest. I later became a teacher, first teaching Environmental Science in Gainesville Texas and then Biology abroad in Brasilito Costa Rica.

My experience traveling both as part of my job and for enjoyment have fostered a passion for meeting new people and an ability to handle chaos. I have a deep love of competition and enjoy almost any kind of sport or game.
