What does your typical day-to-day look like?
I live in Washington, D.C., and work remotely right now for Homeland Security. I started about a week after graduation in May of 2018. I got a friend to drop me off and moved to D.C., pretty much uprooting my life in New Jersey.

I do, however, miss being in the office and can see myself in a hybrid model where I commute some days and stay at home other days.
