About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn how to teach a love for learning.

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated from the University of Virginia. Last summer I back-packed around Europe (England, France, Italy, Spain, and Ireland), and this summer I am traveling along the east coast of the United States, hitting up concerts, finishing up with the Song of Ice and Fire series, working on some figure drawings/paintings, and preparing to move to D.C.!

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind and positive and look at the big picture.
