About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have the best summer ever!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in New Zealand, I am currently enrolled at the University of Otago in Dunedin (which, if you're not so familiar with NZ geography, is near the bottom). For 2011 I'm on exchange at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada. Right now I'm looking forward to a summer of travelling around eastern Canada and the US, and working at a summer camp in Maine.

PHILOSOPHY

Study what interests you. Become passionate about what you're learning. Sort out that minor detail of a career later.
