ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. In 2012-2013 I studied abroad in the UK to take on a new experience. I finished my BA in Psychology and finished MA in Social Work at USC. I love the outdoors and enjoy staying in shape by dance, surfing, and the gym. I lived in Australia for about a year to experience my work overseas and am back in the states.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Studied abroad for the last year of my undergraduate degree in Wales,UK. The best thing I could have ever done. I met people from all over the world and some of my closest friends are now in other countries. Experience of a lifetime, and the traveling was amazing.
-Hitch hiked from Wales to Croatia

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning everything I can about different cultures. I enjoy outdoor activities and am up for trying new things :). I speak Spanish and enjoy learning new words and sentences in other languages, so far my friends from Germany have taught me a few things!
