CURRENT MISSION

To fully understand, deconstruct, and dismantle what is currently seen as the "norm"

ABOUT ME

I am currently a university student at UC San Diego studying environmental biology, urban studies and planning, and music. I am taking advantage of all that being a student has to offer, and am overwhelmed and grateful for all the opportunities.

I studied abroad in Bordeaux, France for a semester in hopes to perfect my French and get to know that side of the world to feel a connection to other places and cultures outside of the US. It's about time I get out of my hometown and experience other cultures and histories first hand. I couchsurfed once while I was in France and would like to return the favor for the couchsurfing community!

I LOVE singing anytime and anywhere, feel free to join me.
