While I’m assuming most of the people reading this blog will be family and friends who know me, I’ll write up a short bio for those who may not. Here we go…
Born and raised in southwest Wisconsin, I’m now a 20-something graduate student living in Bangalore, India on an internship with a local company called Biome. In short, they do water management. For more info, visit their websites at http://biome-solutions.com/ and http://biometrust.org/.
Prior to coming here, I took classes for my Master’s in Civil Engineering through a Sustainable International Development program at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities (Go Gophers!) while living in St. Paul with my fiancé Trae’. While I'm away, he is holding down the fort. In one of these classes I co-founded Monsūn which I’m also piloting while here in India. Upon my return, all of my grad program requirements should be completed and, if I’m lucky, I’ll be done with anything academic for several years.
I received my undergraduate degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin – Platteville. Yes, that’s correct, there is more than one ‘UW’… what?? I know, right! Crazy. It was during this time that I started traveling internationally - I began with Ghana my sophomore year, Panama in 2014, then France and Italy in 2015. Once the travel bug bites, the itch doesn't go away. Anyways, I enjoyed my time there and got a great education while also working part time as a waitress and at John Deere Dubuque Works. If anybody is just chomping at the bit for an in-depth description of my background, feel free to look me up on LinkedIn, but I won’t bore you all here.
