Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to enter into the automotive design industry, though this may change as more opportunities open to me or interest me. I hope to travel to Germany and Austria where Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and multiple other automotive companies are located because I appreciate their design philosophies and the appearance of their vehicles in general.

Graduate school interests

I have not yet decided whether or not to pursue grad school.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy drawing and other forms of art. I enjoy video games that have deep stories and aim to tell them through a proactive medium. Working out with friends and playing sports are also rising hobbies of mine.
