About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live, love, learn, and eat chips.

ABOUT ME

Hmmmm. If I had to describe myself in a few words, I'd say I'm inquisitive, analytical, extroverted, passionate, musical, curious, sometimes a bit skeptical about the future of this world, but generally a pretty positive and fun person.

I love being around friends and family but also cherish quiet time to myself. Music and travel have played a huge part of my life, but I've been a bit disconnected from both for a while, which makes me both sad and motivated to change that.

PHILOSOPHY

Potato chips don't count right?
