Bio

I love to read and travel, and I am always happy to find some new friends there to play volleyball with or learn something from. I'm looking for a full four-year college experience, and I don't mind planning around a heavy workload as long as it is fulfilling. In the future, I plan to pursue a career in cybersecurity.
