Summary
A couple of whirlwind, after college attempts to build my own app, manufacture sustainable sunglasses, and help end air pollution failed, BIG TIME. I won’t let that discourage me but for the present I need to refocus. I would love a job which brings me back to my roots: great writing with a purpose!
