About me
Intro
I'm passionate about creating, learning, and problem solving. I've had fairly varied jobs from Sailing to Prototyping Engineer to Business Development, I think this reflects my broad skills and adaptability in developing solutions. Long term I want to use my abilities to help create truly innovative solutions and improve sustainability. In my spare time I enjoy story telling, sewing, hiking, origami, and indulging my deep love of learning on any topic I can sink my teeth into (celtic myths, moonshot engineering projects, sustainability/ energy transitions, material technologies, boot making, arm wrestling, ect.)
