Biography
I have spent a lot of time in three Texas
cities brimming with history: Pasadena (“The Birthplace of
Texas”), Montgomery (“The Birthplace of the Texas Flag”),
and Austin (“The Live Music Capital of the World”). After a
quick four years at Vanderbilt University in Nashville,
Tennessee earning my B.E. in Mathematics and
Chemical/Biomolecular Engineering, I came back to Texas and
entered the University of Texas at Austin’s Environmental
and Water Resources Engineering Program in Fall 2010. I am
currently pursuing my Master’s degree, studying sediment
contamination levels using passive sampling devices.
Since coming to Austin, I have become even more active. Most
of my time (after I am done with lab and class work) is
spent outdoors: playing tennis, running around Lady Bird
Lake, jumping into Barton Springs, or watching plays at
Zilker Park’s hillside theater.
