About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore France!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 year old American girl. Recently relocated from Chicago to Grenoble, France to be an Au Pair and learn French. I studied Video and New Media, Fiber and Material Studies, Painting and Performance Art in Chicago before coming here. Looking forward to meeting new people and exploring new places! I'm beginning French classes for the first time in almost a decade, and cannot wait...

PHILOSOPHY

Never too late to change everything

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Peeling off my clothes and diving into the bluest water i've ever seen: Mediterranean on the coast of Italy, surrounded by mountains above me and fish at my feet.
