I studied at Stanford University in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, majoring in International Relations and minoring in Environmental Engineering. My academic path through Stanford was unconventional to say the least. I started my freshman year as a Physics major in SLE (Structured Liberal Education), an intensive residential-based humanities core. I decided to switch to International Relations during my freshman year. At the end of my sophomore year, I took off a year to live in and explore Southeast Asia. I returned to Stanford in Paris in the fall of 2008. While in Paris, I became very interested in Environmental Economics and the integration of Environmental Science into the Economy and Policy. This is what I spent my final year and a half at Stanford studying.
Before Stanford, I went to Douglas County High School in Castle Rock, Colorado. You can learn more about my time in high school (warning, old site).
