In a nutshell, I'm a vegetarian from the sunshine state of Florida. I studied International Business at the University of Florida. I enjoy hiking, cooking, running, and I love to travel, as we all do! After graduation, I moved to Thailand to teach English for a few years, and now I've somehow found myself back stateside helping university students go abroad!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- crazy experience: I went trekking in the Baliem Valley in West Papua. The terrain was ridiculously hard to hike, and I was having really bad side effects from my anti-malaria pills.

- interesting experience: adopting a street cat in Thailand and bringing her back to the U.S. when I moved back! Her name is Jingjo, which means "kangaroo" in Thai
