CURRENT MISSION

After 7 years, I'm finally graduating from university. Before I move on to whatever is next in my life, I'm taking the summer to travel throughout Europe.

ABOUT ME

I am from Salem, OR, but apparently have an accent. My friends joke that it's a "Japanese accent" since they noticed it after my year study in Japan. I just got done with school and am about to start something new. I'm not sure where yet, but some of the options so far are Portland (Oregon), California, Japan, China, somewhere in Asia or Latin America, or some other place I end up.
I will definitely be working internationally and with people. I have been working with International students at my university for my whole 7 years there, and I really enjoy it. People are important to me. I want to do what I can to help them have some awesome life experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Shakespeare has an awesome one:
"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."
I try. It's hard sometimes though.

Also, Mohandas "Mahatma" Ghandi:
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Interests

I like running, soccer, swimming, and many other sports. I haven't had time lately for any of them, but now that school's done I hope to be more active again.
Languages are awesome. I'm working on my 4th or 5th right now and hope to pick up some bits of others while I'm in Europe this summer. Definitely getting a few phrasebooks for the plane.
