CURRENT MISSION

Exploring and dancing around the beautiful country of Spain!

ABOUT ME

I am a go-getter by nature and I love to travel and explore new places.
I love dancing, sports, jumping off of cliffs & out of planes, and learning as much as I can from the people in the world I live in. I live in Minneapolis MN (kind of). The kind of being because I travel for work every week Monday-Friday as a Retail management consultant. I love traveling for work but even more for vacation, adventure, and fun.

Oh yes, and I am a proud University of Wisconsin-Madison Badger Alumni. GO BADGERS!

PHILOSOPHY

I have lots, but here's a few

1) Things will always work out how they are supposed to.
2) Carpe diem!
3) Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
