CURRENT MISSION

See the world and learn as much about others as I can

ABOUT ME

I attended the University of California, Santa Barbara. I'm a History/French major

I enjoy having fun without getting too crazy, though the line between the two is sometimes blurred. I love conversing with others to get their perspective on a variety of different topics. It is refreshing to see the different ways that life can be perceived and lived by others.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, learn, and have fun. Try to find happiness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sounds cheesy but...as a student of French seeing Paris and the Eiffel Tower was amazing. I have been seeing pictures and talking about Paris in my French classes for years and finally being able to physically be present there was an AWEsome experience, in the full sense of the word.
