About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel the world like a nomad

ABOUT ME

I just finished Peace Corps in El Salvador and I'm getting my MPH in Nutrition at UNC Chapel Hill.

I enjoy bicycle riding, dance parties, reading poetry aloud, irony and cold showers in no particular order.

My finger nails are usually a chipped neon color and my socks usually don't match. I used to hate brushing my hair, but now I do it everyday. I guess this is growing up.

PHILOSOPHY

peace, love, travel the world...
Do something that scares you everyday.
Uniqueness takes courage.
