About
A freshman at The University of Tulsa majoring in Petroleum Engineering, and looking forward to learn more each day about the petroleum industry and its ramifications. Possibly on my sophomore year I'll change the bachelors of science in PE to PE and a minor in Geosciences because I love with Geology. I consider myself a traveller, and for the past year I've been meeting and experiencing awesome places like Brazil, UAE, and other U.S. locations like Colorado and Montana.
