ABOUT ME
Ni hao! Hola! Salut! Hello!
After graduating with a Bachelors Degree for Biochemistry and Chemistry at the University of Colorado, I knew that there was so much more the world had to offer. I chose the major because all my I have been interested in the world and how it works. Yet after four years of thinking about molecules, I knew I needed something else. I knew that my heart was after something that could inspire my passion. I discovered that the people, the places, and the languages; these are what make the world such a fascinating place. It was then I took a three month long road trip across Europe with a few of my close friends. After discovering the beauty of more than a dozen countries I knew that I had to do next: Live Abroad! Since then I have experienced life in some amazing countries: France, Spain, Korea, Finland, China and now Taiwan. I absolutely appreciate that I have the opportunity to live abroad. I am passionate about learning languages and live for the chance to discover new things. Living abroad has given me such a wonderful chance to broaden my perspective of the world. That is something I am truly grateful for. I really love meeting people who have a similar passion, there are just so many things great things to discover in the world!
PHILOSOPHY
When I am at my best I strive to learn about myself and the world and in return hope for the possibly help others learn about themselves. I see life as an opportunity to grow and to learn more about your true potential. The best thing a person can do is learn and grow.

Music, Movies, and Books
I really love music. It moves me, both emotionally and physically. I usually have a song stuck in my head at any given time. A friend of mine once said I have a theme song for every situation.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of my all time favorite memories is when I climbed Mount Olympus for my 23 birthday. Can you imagine waking up and watching the sun rise over the Aegean sea. Few experiences are more amazing than witnessing a slice of natural beauty. It was one of the best birthday gifts ever!
Teach, Learn, Share
Learning new things drives me to follow my own curiosity and follow my dreams. If I can learn something about a different language, culture, or person, it is a great chance to grow.
