I am a student at the University of Minnesota studying Political Science, Modern dance, and Spanish. Currently I am spending the semester learning abroad in Toledo, Spain (30 minutes outside of Madrid) while traveling every chance I get on weekend and breaks.

The best way I can describe myself is an outdoors loving, eco-conscious girl who loves good food, cooking, hiking, camping, playing music (violin/mandolin), dancing, spending quality time with friends, traveling, and meeting new people.

Also on my list of favorites these days are Radiohead, Alt-J, Cage the Elephant, Shakey Graves, the Black Keys, Youth Lagoon, First Aid Kit, Alabama Shakes, Andrew Bird, the Punch Brothers, Fleet Foxes, the Kooks, M.I.A., Kendrick Lamar, Flume, and Glass Animals.

Movies: Moonrise Kingdom, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Little Miss Sunshine, Silver Linings Playbook, Chef, The Dark Knight Rises, Mad Max, Singing in the Rain
