  • Description

    I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Montana State University, but I've come to realize that working as an engineer doesn't fulfill me. I'm more of an artistic, spontaneous adventurer, always seeking new experiences and travel. During a recent educational trip to the rural areas of the Yucatan Peninsula, I discovered true happiness by immersing myself in culture and community.

    Currently, I work as a custom van conversion technician, driven by the creativity and design aspects of my job. However, I'm eager to embrace a new culture and explore ways to contribute and innovate in a different environment. Ultimately, my greatest happiness stems from being surrounded by nature. I am an avid rock climber and try to get outside whenever I get the chance. I feel so much peace and accomplishment when I am scaling walls. On rest days, I enjoy paddleboarding, mountain biking, surfing, yoga, videography, making new crafts, and the list goes on. I also love opportunities to give and help people. I am so excited for a new adventure in my life where I can learn from others!
