Who I Am
[edit]I was born in 1986 in Mountain View California. I Grew up playing all sorts of sports from Rugby to marching band (they told me it was a sport). I learned to work with my hands as a construction worker building furniture by hand until I went to college at University of California Santa Barbara where I got a Masters in Computer Science and started playing Ultimate Frisbee.
Where I Am
[edit]I am located in Santa Barbara California still but I live a mobile lifestyle traveling all over the world whenever I can to experience new cultures and make new friends.
What I Do
[edit]I currently work for a small startup based out of San Fransisco called StudySoup. We are a group of passionate and obsessive college graduates who are looking to make the college experience more sustainable for all students worldwide.
I also joined a professional Ultimate frisbee league called the AUDL who is currently battling to bring gender equity to the United States while promoting the sport of Ultimate Frisbee. Currently there are 23 male teams in the league and zero female teams which is looking to be changed as part of the movement.[1]
Why I Care
[edit]College was an amazing experience for me and I want to do what I can to provide that experience to lower income families as well as make life easier for the students who struggle in the more difficult subjects. I want to encourage all students to learn more than just what they are good at. We are all afraid of failure and wasting time which is why it is so important to encourage young students to learn new topics.
How I Help
[edit]I am still trying to figure out this one in the grand scheme of things
