CURRENT MISSION

Finding an exciting new place to live with my partner, and looking for opportunities in environmental science and conservation.

ABOUT ME

Currently living in Kalamazoo, but always itching to broaden my horizons. I consider myself a kind, laid-back person who is easy to get along with. I am a slight introvert, but I open up around kind, outgoing people to reveal a lively sense of humor, with a touch of mischievousness. I love to travel and explore new places as well as meeting new people, and seeing how they live. I enjoy lots of music and movies, and I am pop culture literate.

PHILOSOPHY

I am very open minded, I believe life is sacred and I try to appreciate everything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of different movies, but my favorite one has to be Eternal Sunshine. I also listen to a lot of different music, but mostly older stuff or more alternative music. I don't really enjoy pop music, rap/hip hop, or country. Favorite artists are David Bowie, Blonde Redhead, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Velvet Underground.I like to read a lot of fiction, and fantasy. I love to get wrapped up in books so much so that I feel like I know the characters and I am sad to finish the book. My favorite author is probably Anne Rice, but I also really like Jack Kerouac, and I am planning to read more Hemingway and Henry Miller in the future.
