About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, explore, learn, and share.

ABOUT ME

I graduated from the University of Michigan where I studied Math, French, and Education. This summer I worked at a university in Singapore where I facilitated leadership development sessions and helped improve student organizations.

Now, I'm teaching English as a second language to French university students. I am very interested in learning and love sharing in good conversations with others. Life's about taking chances, making mistakes, and getting messy.

"When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did."
-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for having adventures, spreading kindness, and sharing good memories with great friends.

Interests

I love reading, watching TV and movies, and listening to music (I'm also an amateur DJ). Cooking has been a great pass-time for me recently; it's so peaceful and yields wonderfully delicious results, too! I also believe that being active is really important, so I spend a good amount of time being outside and exercising.

Friends and family make life what it is. I absolutely having good conversations over food or drinks. It's just the best.

I also really enjoy adventures - what's life without a bit of excitement? =)

Music, Movies, and Books

Big fan of 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, the Office, the Simpsons, Futurama, How I Met Your Mother, and Modern Family.

Love watching movies but I'm not sure what my favorite is. Depends on my mood.

Was an amateur DJ back in the States so I have a wide variety of music in my library. Similar to my preference for movies, it depends on my mood. That said, here are some artists I really like: Coldplay, Gotye, Foster the People, Noah and the Whale, Kelly Clarkson, Imagine Dragons, Florence + The Machine, Flo Rida, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and other Top 40 / pop / party music .. you know, stuff that you can dance to! :D
