I am a Software Engineer currently working at Amazon.com, Inc. I enjoy challenging myself, working hard, and learning new things. I am passionate about doing meaningful work that benefits the lives of those I come across in all areas of my life, whether it be software development, the environment, or outdoor/experiential education.I love to backpack and be outside, and as a result I am passionate about the environment and ensuring it's protection and longevity for future generations. Ideally, I am looking to utilize my skills as a computer scientist to help work toward sustainability and a more green society.During college I was also an instructor at the Carolina Outdoor Education Center (COEC) as an instructor and group facilitator. I lead hiking, kayaking, backpacking, and rock climbing expeditions all around North Carolina with other student-instructors on staff. The COEC has helped me develop valuable skills such as how to bring together a group to accomplish any task effectively and efficiently, as well as how to get an individual to stretch their comfort zone to proficiently complete tasks they were anxious to even try.One of my main hobbies is photography and videography. Although never formally trained in either, I am self taught and have created many short videos and photograph albums, both professionally contracted and for personal use.
