About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel nonstop for the next 10 years.

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated with my Masters in Public Health from Emory University. I majored in public health at Tulane University in New Orleans (graduated 2013).

While in college, I studied abroad in Geneva, Switzerland. I recently spent a summer in Phnom Penh, Cambodia working on an evaluation of a clinic for a local non-governmental organization.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything works out in the end :)
