I was born and raised in Loudoun County, VA, and am a 2012 graduate of the University of Virginia.

I love learning about lifestyles and cultures around the world. I am a bit of a Sinophile and have lived for brief periods in Beijing and Singapore. I have recently taken up the French language. Some places on my to-travel list are Morocco, South Africa, and Argentina.

I also enjoy learning about technology and being a part of the start-up community in DC.
