CURRENT MISSION

Do I have to have a mission?

ABOUT ME

I will conquer this daunting task via bullet points.

- Currently studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain. Usually studying at a small, liberal arts college in Ohio, USA.
- I lived in Argentina for a year after graduating high school. It was a formative year, and an important result of it is that I can tell you jokes in two languages. (Hey, that's not bad for a US American)
- I am the 3rd of 4 children born in 5 years. We're friends.

This is too hard; I'll come back to it.

PHILOSOPHY

Now when you pick a raw paw, or prickly pear.
And you pick a raw paw, next time beware.
Don't pick the prickly pear by paw
When you try to pick, try to use the claw.
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick-a-pear from the big paw paw.
Have I given you a clue?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking on the Puerto Moreno glacier in Patagonia is up there. Having my passport stolen is not really up there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was raised on a farm and was once on my county's dairy judging team. I've lived for extended periods of time in South America. I started my own business. I've interviewed a lot of cool people. I'm a college athlete. I'm well versed in the trivia of Western New York state. I can say the alphabet backwards.

And I would love to talk to you about any of these humble brags.
