About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience various cultures, meet different people, and learn new things!!!

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from college a month ago and now I'm in Bangkok looking to have an interesting cultural experience for a year or so. Plan on getting some sort of job in banking, or possibly teach english. We'll see!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a big novelty-seeker. I love to travel, read new things, push myself out of my comfort zone and meet people with different ways of thinking. I think open-minded people are the smartest people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying abroad was probably the biggest thing I've done in the last few years. I went to Milan, Italy and it changed my philosophies on life. Spring vacation in Thailand last year was a big one as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an economics major, and know a fair bit about psychology. I try to be well-rounded.
