About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am down to earth girl who just wants to have a good time and to learn and grow through many experiences. I come from the rocky mountains and the desert in utah and I absolutely love snowboarding, back country expeditions, and desert camping. I am currently living in Lebanon working on refugee asylum cases and trying to learn French and Arabic

PHILOSOPHY

the time is now, so don't hesitate because you will never be in this exact situation ever again
