Hobbies: too much youtube, drawing, gaming (sort of), gym-ing, zoning out
Favorite memory with IEEE: So hard to choose...If I had to, I might go with the officer retreat at Joshua Tree. Star watching at 2am is unforgettable! (The cold was unforgettable too. 🥶)
Your most useless talent or fun fact: There was a point in time where I could do 6 pull ups
What you would be doing if time and money were not an issue: Minecraft all advancements slowrun
Piece of advice to our readers: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. If you miss 100% of the shots you DO take, then you're probably aiming in the wrong direction.
