I am New Jersey native who now finds the Pacific Northwest home. From growing up in New Jersey, going to school in Philadelphia, being stationed out in San Diego and now Washington State, I been incredibly privileged to see both the beauty and atrocities in the United States. As a member of the US Navy, I have been granted access to some of the most beautiful countries in the world, through the lenses of Foreign Aid. As I begin my transition out of one of the largest organizations in the US, I am finding joy in my personal hobbies such as running and mountain biking and am looking forward to continued growth as a person.
