When I say Van Gogh, do you think Starry Night or bloody ear? Seriously, I’d love to know! Anywho, a year ago I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I am studied political science and minored in public relations English. I currently live in New York City where I work as the Communications and Program Manager for Seth Rogen’s Hilarity for Charity, a nonprofit working to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care and research and engage millennials while doing so. I am the least picky eater ever and love trying new foods and different cuisines. I am very extroverted and my friends joke that I could talk to a wall. I love meeting new people and going to new places and trying new things. I am the kind of person who reads every word on every display in a museum. I love art galleries and live music and going to plays and musicals and ballets. I love a cup of tea or espresso. When I go out, I channel my inner Shakira and dance like crazy. Speaking of dancing vamos a bailar juntos!

Music, Movies, and Books

Tame Impala. Sylvan Esso. Trevor Hall. Chet Faker. Janelle Monae. Beyonce. Solange. Kahlid. Drake. Childish Gambino. Beatles. SZA. Anderson Paak. Idk man I love music. These sections are hard.

Two of my favorite movies are Brick (total cult classic) and Annie Hall even though Woody Allen is scummy.

East of Eden is one of my favorite books:
“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—'Thou mayest'—that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if "Thou mayest'—it is also true that 'Thou mayest not.'”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. When I lived in Tuscany for 3 months & workedas an Au Pair.
2. When I was in Lisbon, Portugal the night they woke the Euro World Cup for the first time ever. BOTELLÓN!
3. When I explored Sevilla, Spain on the back of a moped with my blah blah car driver who I had just met that day.
4. When I did a cross country road trip across the US, camping and adventured and hiked allalong the way. Camping in Joshua Tree National Park under the stars was so magical, but damn so much of it was.
