CURRENT MISSION

To see, do, and learn while I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm 22 years old. I was born and raised in Dexter, Michigan in the United States. I attend the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I traveled and studied in Italy (Florence). I hope to get my degree in literature and biology and go into the health sciences. I'm a Christian and that shapes a lot of me. I'm also a person with close ties to family and friends. I'm hoping to become more independent and travel-savvy.

PHILOSOPHY

Love God. Make and develop relationships and friendships. See the world and its people. Stay true to myself while I expand my beliefs, thoughts, and knowledge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing God work in someone's life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to learn, try teaching me! I would love to learn more about health care from all over the world, and how to survive in the wildnerness/camp (I've never really done that). I'd also like to learn how to cook well, especially any dishes that my hosts specialize in. :D

I don't have a lot of practical skills, but I can knit and crochet, play the oboe, sing, analyze literature, and look at things scientifically in a bind. I can also play some decent euchere (a Northern American card game) if anyone wants to learn.
