CURRENT MISSION

Live (with Others) and Let (Them) Live (with Me)

ABOUT ME

I am a public health student at Emory University focusing on the study of behavioral sciences and health education. My interests dwell in sexuality and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). I love working with people and learning about the behaviors which we perform in our every day lives. I am looking forward to meeting amazing people who love to travel and experience the fascinating world.

PHILOSOPHY

Bringing sunshine into people's lives and finding beauty in everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting a country is nothing like living in it. I lived in Israel for three months and have never been more confused and enlightened politically, socially, economically, and culturally than I am now. I love the newness and excitement of living in such a raw and changing world. Live some place for a length of time and experience just a tiny piece of the world we are living in. The travel bug has bitten.
