CURRENT MISSION

To be present in my life each day and to create the most good that I can in whatever ways that I can!

ABOUT ME

Friendly, kind, helpful & a traveler by nature. I'm 21 years old and part of the UNC Chapel Hill class of 2020. Visual artist -- I paint with oil, watercolor, and ink. I value my daily yoga practice, even when it can only be for 15 minutes. I'm also a rather light sleeper so I'll bring earplugs :')

PHILOSOPHY

Through getting my philosophy degree, I've studied MANY different ethical theories, but the one that I most resonate with is ethics of care! Morality fundamentally centers on interpersonal relationships. Care and benevolence are virtues and I strive to embody them in my relation to other humans and non-human animals and the natural world :)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

My partner and I are taking a biiiig road trip this summer (all planned around my grandma's 85th birthday party in Denver) and are looking forwards to making new friends across the country!
