CURRENT MISSION

Mission: to see the world and get to know different cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'm a music student hoping to get a job in a professional orchestra. I go to school in Minnesota, United States, but I am currently studying in Vienna, Austria. I'm passionate about music, I'm passionate about art, I'm passionate about politics, culture, beliefs, and everything in between. I want to understand people and the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I've got time in this world, I may as well take full advantage of it and enjoy it to the fullest extent. I think you can understand people best when you understand what drives them through life. I want to understand that.
