About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small suburban town right outside of San Francisco, California. The promise of perfect summer weather, amazing beaches and really good Mexican food were just a few of the perks that drew me to Los Angeles to study Political Science and International Relations at the University of California, Irvine. I was really involved on campus but my greatest experience was in my junior year of college when I got the opportunity to study abroad in Siena, Italy. From that summer on, I have been dancing in wanderlust and I just can't stop.... :)

PHILOSOPHY

If you always follow your heart and do what makes you happy.... all else will follow.
