CURRENT MISSION

Try new things, meet new people, and find the best in every situation.

ABOUT ME

I am fun and personable. I like sports and grew up playing everything. I played volleyball in college and still play on a recreational team. I have degrees in Psychology and General Studies as well as a minor in Religion and an emphasis in Leadership Studies. I really enjoy meeting new people and seeing new things, hence travelling and that I'm an au pair. I love to be outdoors and try new experiences.

I've been lucky enough to see a lot of different places in my short 23 years and I don't want it to stop...ever. I LOVE to sing and do it a lot. I just want to see it all. I don't want to miss out on my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe in something. Be good to one another. And forgive.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Redeeming Love, Divergent Series, The Hunger Games, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Help, The Last Lecture, Tuesdays With Morrie, Pride and Prejudice, etc....

Music: Lots of different things...but soul and jazz is pretty great. It's easier to tell you what I don't really like: trance, and hard metal, things that scream at me.

Movies: chick flicks (that are predictable and cheesy), Tommy Boy, Fight Club, Men In Black, Inception, Shutter Island (DiCaprio), Bourne movies, LOTR, Harry Potter, Bridesmaids, (I don't know...I feel like these are pretty generic answers)

T.V.: The Mentalist, Dexter, NCIS, New Girl, Modern Family, HIMYM, Psych.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied in an American school in Vienna for 6 months.

I went on Outward Bound in the Everglades for 2 weeks...it turns out I can live in a canoe and sleep on top of it for 2 weeks, without showering. This leads me to believe I'm capable of great things.

I held a koala in Australia.

I've walked over the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

And I discovered how cool glow worm caves are in New Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm not so sure I can teach anyone, but I played volleyball in college and for about 6 years before that. Oh and I can teach you guys that Cup Song from Pitch Perfect :)
