CURRENT MISSION

To always push my limits, learn new things, reach new heights, and to gather great memories and meet some wonderful people along the way!

ABOUT ME

Fun-loving, spontaneous, empowered young professional constantly seeking new opportunities to positively impact the world and my various communities. Insatiably curious, and always down to make some memories or have a gut-punchingly good conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Constantly trying to shy away from a vanilla way of life. Vanilla can be good on occasion, but Rocky Road is my favorite :) I also tend to enjoy smatterings of basil, earl grey, olive oil, or burnt caramel (yup, all ice cream flavors!).

Life begins where your comfort zone ends. -Neale Donald Walsch
