CURRENT MISSION

Making new friends, having memorable experiences, and living life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the U.S., but I have also lived in Italy when I was younger and Korea more recently. I have been lucky enough to have traveled to 28 countries, most recently a trip to England and France for 3 weeks. I love being active and outdoors! Hiking, surfing, snowboarding, volleyball, basketball, you name it! My main hobby is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which I have been doing for over six years. I am currently completing my M.A. in education and teaching credential.
