My Trips

Presented is a (non-exhaustive) collection of my favorite trips and adventures.

School Trips

I have been fortunate enough to go on some really exciting school trips,and I wanted to share them. It blows my mind that you can just sign up for so much cool stuff.

New York City — Oct., 2025

Somehow, I was lucky enough to be selected to join the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Department's Fall trip to NYC. I joined around a dozen other students, and a few faculty, and we went around the city meeting with various startups and individuals with ties to NC State. It was inspiring to get to hear the stories and advice of so many seasoned leaders. Honestly, though, my favorite parts were all the siteseeing and activities we did. It was truly just great to have fun and get to know some of my best and brightest classmates.

Backpacking

I love backpacking treks. They are such an exciting and enriching experience, and I am so thankful for all the amazing oppurtunities I have had through Scouts. Spending time in the wilderness and in our natural world is so fulfilling to me, and I sincerely regret that it is not something I we do more often.
