Introduction
Hi all!
This is my first post here and it is intended to be nothing more than a short introduction. I hope to connect with others active on the forum, learn more about cause areas of interest, and contribute my own thoughts and findings.
I was born and raised in Wenatchee Washington, and am now a senior-year architecture undergraduate student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I’ve developed various interests through projects over the years, including videography, journalism, woodworking, digital fabrication, and language acquisition. This year I am writing my thesis on civilizational resilience, which I will release here when finished.
I’m actively searching for jobs starting in late summer in applied global priorities research, data visualization, and digital fabrication, and hope to make some career connections at the EAG GCR Bay Area conference I’m attending and volunteering at in early February.
Let’s start a conversation if you have similar interests, and connect with me on Linkedin if you are curious about my credentials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cole-hansen-9b7242194/
I’m stoked to be a part of this community, and to meet more people who are passionate about making the world a better place!
When I first checked this post, it had 0 karma but 4 votes. That means about half of those who voted on this post downvoted it. I would understand why except nobody explained why.
To explain that myself, it’s typically preferred introductory posts like this are submitted as personal posts, or as a comment in an open thread, as opposed to as frontpage posts. Especially in light of how eagerly you seek to contribute to the community, it was rude nobody who disliked your post bothered taking a moment to explain why. In light of that, I’ve strongly upvoted this post, and I apologize on behalf of our other peers who were so unwelcoming.
