CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Interesting fact - I'm terrible at filling out "About Me" sections! I'm very open-minded. I love new experiences and also trying new things, which is where my love for adventure comes in.

Favorite quote - " Actions express Priorities"

PHILOSOPHY

The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap! I promise you! It's just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don't buy it. Be smart, be thoughtful, and be generous.

Something I constantly ponder is this "Why is it that we tend to judge others on their behavior but ourselves on our intentions?"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two summers ago a group of volunteers and I helped build a staircase in a shanty town in Pamplona, Peru. During this time I had gotten close to a 7 year old named Dacha.

A year later, I returned to Peru on another volunteer trip. During this trip I had the chance to go back to the first shanty town and was able to see the staircase we built.

The most memorable part was being at the top of the staircase and seeing Dacha at the bottom of the long staircase. It was a movie moment running towards each other ending in a reunited embrace. This is one of the most amazing things that has happened to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

The thought that there are 7 billion people in world, coming from all walks of life, blows my mind. I think everyone you meet can offer you something that you can use to grow your character. So in short, I enjoy learning from everyone.
