About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live life without out passing up any opportunities! despite my lack of funds :)

ABOUT ME

I´m an adventurous girl from CA. After graduating I moved to NYC to attend NYU and after a year, and a half of running around the city I decided to move to Madrid in order to improve my spanish and for a change of scenery. I love living here and meeting new people every day and trying new things, especially different foods! I´m really atheletic and love playing soccer and running. I also really appreciate art. I'm always trying to draw but i'm not every good but i have a lot of respect for other peoples artwork!
In general I like to be outside, doing stuff and now that its summer I'm excited to travel and have as many random adventures as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

"life begins at the end of your comfort zone"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to costa rica and lived on a reserve working with scientists to protect the sea turtle population. We patrolled the beaches in compete darkness, except the moonlight, every night and collected data on nests and health of the sea turtles. We also helped the baby turtles get to the water. This was hands down the most amazing and beautiful experience of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you how to make Paella since I have been living in Spain for a bit...
Learn: I cannot whistle... and if some one could finally teach me how i would really appreciate it!
