Interests

Right now I'm interested in learning about using AI tools thoughtfully and intentionally. I am also love working with maps and location data. I do a lot of work on integrations and automations, and it's fun for me to figure out ways to get different tools and systems to work together seamlessly. 

Experiences

  • Before settling down in KW, I lived in Senegal, Czech Republic, and Spain! 
  • I walked ~300km of the Camino de Santiago and I hope to one day do the whole thing
  • I biked from Amsterdam to Paris with my little sister, couch-surfing and camping along the way
  • Before starting my current business, I briefly ran a wilderness tour company where I took small groups on backcountry camping trips to Algonquin.
