One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
2018: I just completed an accelerated nursing program and took my NCLEX licensure examination. I am waiting on the results as we speak! I am going to be driving across the United States w/ a dear friend for a near month in June/July. We will both begin our new careers in mid/end July!
2017:
Visited Costa Rica for the first time - completed a wilderness first responder course during winter break from Uni.
2013:
I have witnessed live birth three times. Each one was amazing. I cried like a baby. Magical stuff. I am currently in the midst of a 3 month trip in Iceland, Amsterdam, and the Faroe Islands. It's the most amazing thing I've ever personally done.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like feminist political theory and I can knit. I am almost able to sew. I would love to learn how to do everything else. I can teach you how to make extensive to-do lists! I can hypothesize about the human condition and talk about love.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have a sturdy back and can be of use to anyone who wants assistance w/ the chores, garden, grocery trips, or long lectures on why nursing is the future of health care.
