Hello!
I'm a 20 year old from Calgary/Canmore, Canada. I'm currently a music student at the Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio. I am studying classical voice/opera and am passionate about all art forms (music, dance, theatre, cinema, photography, poetry, etc!). I will be doing an academic exchange in Vienna in the Fall of 2018 and am hoping to travel during my time in Europe.

I grew up skiing, climbing, and hiking in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and always love being outdoors (alone or with friends). Seeking beauty in the world is something I value dearly. I am interested in mystic theology and enjoy the poetry of Hafez, Rumi, Thomas Merton, and Mary Oliver. Inclusion and gratitude are at the core of my spirituality.

Additionally, I am very friendly and enjoy meeting people from all over the world and hearing their stories.
