CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I recently finished 2 years as a secondary school history teacher, am now working as a marketing coordinator, and hope to someday have an impact in making great places through real estate development or urban planning or something related. I love walking and riding my bike and finding things that are free. I swear I have some form of motorized vehicle narcolepsy because every time I am in a car or on a bus I get super sleepy....leads to interesting discoveries of new parts of cities. Lately I've been on a frugality kick in order to save up money for a trip this summer. I like to notice things along the way.

I really love to eat. Really.
