CURRENT MISSION

Be more outgoing and meet new people

ABOUT ME

I am adventurous but also a planner. I like to be organized and I'm not very spontaneous. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. I am more of a homebody these days, hanging out with my dog Skipper. I love to be healthy and active and run and bike regularly.

PHILOSOPHY
