I have a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Oregon State University. While at OSU, I conducted research in materials science as part of a computational research group. I love solving complex problems through mathematical methods and working as part of a team to develop innovative strategies to achieve objectives. Recreationally, I enjoy playing strategy games, most notably the Pokemon Trading Card Game, which I have played for 15 years and achieved a 3rd Place finish at the 2016 Pokemon World Championships. I also enjoy researching U.S. history and constitutional law and earned a 1st Place finish at the 2018 We the People National Finals.When I was a sophomore at OSU I was scouted by a model agent. In 2021, I was introduced to Alessandro Michele, the creative director of Gucci, and was promptly booked to work exclusively for the brand--walking in fashion shows in Los Angeles and Milan and starring in a worldwide campaign. Since graduating from OSU, I have lived in Milan, Italy, and Tokyo, Japan, working for major fashion brands such as Moncler, Marni, Comme Des Garcon, Issey Miyake, and Yohji Yamamoto.
