Biography:

I am an International Relations major and Computer Science minor at UC Davis. Academics are very important to me, but my philosophy is that the biggest benefits of college are the people you meet and unique opportunities you find by going out and getting involved in the university's community. So far at UCD, I have learned 5 distinct cultural dances, won 2nd place at a national Judo competition, and will be studying in Madrid for the Spring 2013 semester. The opportunities are endless!

On a more serious note, I am currently looking for a marketing or business development internship in the Bay Area for the summer of 2013. My ultimate goal is to be the director of Google.org, helping people in crises and underdeveloped countries.

If you are interested in meeting/talking to me, shoot me an email!
