A little bit about me

Hi my name is Jake and I am college student at LSU in Baton Rouge! I have lived in Chicago for 19 years running, went to school here in the city, and am very familiar with the area. I love to play sports and spend time outside, but I am also a sucker for a good book. I am studying mechanical engineering in college, and would like to work in the field of sustainable energy later in life. I have worked in a preschool before, where I was in charge of quite a few younger children, watching them, playing with them etc. I really enjoyed my time at Chalkboard while I was there, and would love to do it again. I went to high school at Saint Ignatius College Prep, and grade school I attended Alexander Graham Bell School.
