When I left high school in the US to attend university in Switzerland, my future was quite uncertain in the best of ways. After spending many years immersed in this uncertainty and surmounting countless academic challenges, I am looking forward to bringing my determination and learned skills to industry. My goal has always been to find a project that inspires me, and my preparation has been to follow my interests and study a very diverse range of subjects. Having studied everything from electromagnetic systems to snow science and sustainable development, I have the skills needed to jump aboard any project that piques my interest and thrive. I recognize the many severe threats to our environment and feel a calling to apply myself to projects that address them in my work.
