CURRENT MISSION

Be a student of the world?? More like work and travel the world in the hopes of learning alot

ABOUT ME

I'm witty, out-going, a lover of learning new things and exploring this wonderful world. I'm very goal-oriented or driven, so I'm always thinking about the next step.

I graduated as a dual major (Sociology/Journalism) and triple minor (Dance/Middle Eastern Studies/Economics), so as you can see I'm alittle ambitious or indecisive depending which way you look at it! LOL My goal is to work for the United Nations Human Rights Council or the United Nations Development Programme. My dream is to open my own performing arts studio in a "under-served" community.

I love kids!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't think I've ever had to answer a question like this, it's hard, but....I live my life knowing that this world is so big, beautiful, and filled with amazing people. "The un-reflected life is not worth living"-Socrates I pretty much live by this quote.

I live my life because I want to experience and learn as much as possible so that I can use that knowledge not only to better myself, but my community (in every sense of the word). It might sound chessy, but meh!
