About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience everything

ABOUT ME

I'm a student at Wellesley College studying Studio Arts and Pre-medicine. I hail from San Francisco, California (born and raised) and still think it's one of the best cities in the world in the weirdest way possible. Love to travel, explore cultures, go to shows of all kinds, be entertained, entertain, meet people, learn. I'm kind of a goofball. Love sports but a complete clutz. Love all things tech but also need to hide away in the woods once in a while.

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't specifically found the right word to really categorize my thoughts on the world. I'm not religious though I lean towards Buddhism. I can be philosophical but I believe my experiences continuously evolves how I view and act in the world. I do what I can to do good and learn as much as possible.
