I am finishing my graduate degree in Urban Planning at Portland State University in Oregon. I tend to be an introvert, and find myself most comfortable in small groups getting to know a few people well over large crowds. As I begin to to branch out and travel, I'm interested in laid back interactions and suggestions for places to see.

Interests

I am obsessed with current events. I get email subscriptions from a handful of news sources and spend as much time as I can learning about what is going on. My favorite focus is US domestic politics, but I enjoy following other countries news as well as non-political news. I am fascinated learning about Myanmar (Burma) and Peru. Honestly, I can enjoy myself listening to any conversation about what's going on in the world regardless of how little I know about it. I am very interested in medicine and love reading, writing, and plants.
