CURRENT MISSION

To floss more often.

ABOUT ME

I am a senior at a small liberal arts university studying political science. I hope to become an urban planner because communities fascinate and excite me. This is part of the reason I love traveling; it gives me the feeling that I am a part of one HUGE fantastic community.

I work on and off at a domestic violence hotline and it is probably the most rewarding and inspiring job I will ever have.

I am also completely in love with my university and am learning an incredible amount from my time there.

That being said, it is of top importance that I get out, see new places, and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"This planet has-or rather had- a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for most of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
----The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It sounds small, but every year at my house, wildflowers pop up and take over the whole yard almost over night. My jaw drops every morning during that time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, fragmented French, piano, and how to sneak beets into muffins with them still tasting like heaven. I'm sure you have plenty to teach. I'd love to find out what that is.
