New Yorker visiting Germany before heading to graduate school.

Recently left my engineering consulting job to prepare for graduate school in 2014. Excited to stare less at excel sheets and attending lectures again. I'm a glutton for knowledge and love trying new hobbies, tinkering, and learning something new.

I enjoy traveling and have been to Hawaii, China, and Japan most recently. My Japan trip included a three day hike through the Kii Mountains, visiting the three holiest temples, sleeping in a capsule hotels, and gorging on some of the most delicious food I've ever had.

Always up for exploring the city and wandering through new neighborhoods.

In the mean, time I am interning at a bakery, learning to make awesome boozy cupcakes. WWOOFing in Germany and Sweden before I head for school.

On weeknights I can be found blocking shots in my coed basketball league or practicing yoga when I need to reset my mind.
