ABOUT ME

I'm a junior at Luther College spending the year at Nottingham University. I'm studying English but for now I'm trying to see a few corners of the world and hopefully meet some new people along the way!

PHILOSOPHY

Joseph Campbell said it best: Follow your bliss. I'm still searching for exactly what that means for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching! I love teaching things like knitting, embroidery, sewing skills, making friendship bracelets, folding paper cranes, and drawing faces. I can even look over and edit a paper if need be. Also, if you want to learn how to bake the best pie crusts, I'm your lady. Oh, and getting people to love the dice game Cosmic Wimp-Out.

I'm up for learning anything! I especially love learning words in other languages and,of course, new games.
