CURRENT MISSION

Storyteller looking to gather stories :)

ABOUT ME

There's a big world to explore out there. I blindly jumped subways in Japan, animated in France, toured windmills in the Netherlands, snorkeled in Belize, learned to surf in Costa Rica and rode a Vespa in Taiwan. I've made friends in all those places by keeping my face out of my phone. Currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive! And then go and do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive!

Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.

Imagination is everything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Japan, a friend and myself traveled all over for nearly a month. We originally went to go on a trip with our school so we could site see and visit animation studios. We thought we should travel to Japan a few weeks before our school came out to do our "own thing". And I am so thankful we did! The trip with the school was a joke and at one point when we were back in Tokyo we became the tour guides!

When I studied in Paris sharing the experience with students and professionals from 16 different countries. I was the only American, after a couple weeks of intense training we enjoyed the evening for Bastille Day!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Want to learn to draw or paint? I could teach you! Show me around or take me to a great meal and I'll be sure to return the favor in the form of artwork!

And I know we will share lots of laughs.
