I graduated in 2009 from the University of Illinois with a degree in Civil Engineering. I rode for the 2008 and 2009 Bike America Teams and have acted as a Principle Director and Ride Leader for the 2009 ride.

I'm currently a sophomore at the University of Illinois, majoring in Spanish and International Studies. I love to travel, meet new people, and experience new things

The short story of my life is that I was born and raised in the far north suburbs of Chicago, practically Wisconsin. I've been a student at the University of Illinois longer than I really care to admit, first as an undergraduate studying Computer Science and now as a graduate student in Education.
