I’m currently studying Sustainable Business and History. On campus, I’m deeply involved in student leadership as Executive Director of Program Council, President of Hike for Help, and a Senior Editor for the Colorado Historian Journal. Outside of my academic and professional roles, you’ll usually find me backpacking in the mountains, listening to history and political podcasts, or shooting and developing film photography.
