I grew up in New Haven, CT, and graduated from Harvard University

with an A.B. in Government and Psychology.​

​

Upon graduating in May 2021, I was granted a Postgraduate Traveling Fellowship and embarked on a year-long, solo journey around the world blending adventure, cultural immersion, and volunteerism. During my gap year, I backpacked an aggregate 850 miles across Washington, Montana, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Iceland, Switzerland, France, South Africa, and Chile; hitchhiked Iceland's Golden Circle; and volunteered across Kruger National Park, working with orphaned elephants of the Jubalani Herd, caring for injured animals at the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, and photographing African wildlife on horseback. 

​

I now live in New York City, exploring vocational interests and personal passions. I have gained perspective from my studies and worldly conversations, freedom through adventure and relentless curiosity, and meaning through my conviction and perseverance. I am excited to continue my personal and professional growth, and I cannot wait to see where life takes me next.
