About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Who knows...

ABOUT ME

I am a runner and dancer, and love both very much. I just moved to Anchorage to be an Americorps volunteer for the Coalition for Prisoner Re-entry. I love to go new places and explore, which I have been doing a lot of so far in Anchorage now that I have a bicycle. I hope to eventually go back to school to do a program in law and psychology.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life at the spur of the moment

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in a radio contest called Last Student Standing where there were 10 of us who lived on a school bus until there was only one left. The winner received a $10,000 scholarship for school. Some the things we had to endure were 104 degree weather, being muted, blindfolded, hangcuffed to ourselves or someone else, sleeping in a bus seat, standing for two days, and listening to babies scream. At time I hated the experience, but after 3 weeks I made some good friends and won $10,000 and I would definitely do it again.
