CURRENT MISSION

To truly learn something new everyday

ABOUT ME

I am currently in Hong Kong working at Lingnan University. I studied abroad here and came to work in the English department but also on service learning projects. I studied public health in school and am a health care nerd who loves germs and learning about them.

I am eager and interested in learning about hong kong, social justice, art, literature and about anything and everything I have never even imagined before.

PHILOSOPHY

Let's all be good to ourselves and each other. Loving others comes first from respect and loving yourself for who you are.
