 I graduated from the [University of Pittsburgh][pitt] with a degree in applied math, and am currently at the [University of British Columbia][ubc]. My intention is to pursue a PhD to become a climate scientist with the goal of providing information to policy makers to incite actionable change.

 My ultimate goal is to increase our understanding of the climate system through scientific computing. I enjoy working on interesting, complex problems. I feel it is best to detail my interests in terms of questions that peak my curiosity.

 Delta airlines almost ruined my entire trip. My flight was from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale to Lima. My flight was delayed so I missed my connection to Lima, and Fort Lauderdale only has one flight that runs to Lima daily. Delta did book me a hotel room at 11 pm, and they booked me an Uber to the hotel, but when I got there, the hotel attendant informed me that I had already checked in so she was not able to check me into my room. Long story short, I had to pay out of pocket and then fight with Delta to give me a refund on the booking and finally went to bed at 1 am for my 8 am flight the next morning. I got to Lima really sleep deprived, and then I got to Huaraz really sleep deprived. As I am writing this from memory in May 2024, I honestly don’t think I ever really recovered because I am still tired. I also rarely now fly Delta and am loyal to United airlines true and true.
 
 To get to Huaraz from Lima, there are several overnight bus options you can take. You have to book the ticket online beforehand, and I went with [Cruz del Sur](https://www.cruzdelsur.com.pe/). There used to be an airport in Huaraz that had weekly (?) flights, but this service was not available when I went in May 2022.

 Day 2 is the hardest day because it is mostly uphill, and you reach the pass. I started my day at 6:30 am.
 
 Day 3: Taullipampa to Cashapampa, Cashapampa to Huaraz do 13 miles
