About Me

Interests

People are really what interests me: getting to know them, their lives, their views. I've studied architecture, so I love seeing buildings in the cities I visit. I'm also a christian and enjoy discussing God, faith and the Bible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied architecture for four months in Oaxaca, Mexico. At the end of the semester, I had the opportunity to visit the Mayan ruins of Tikal in Guatemala. This vast, well preserved city is largely unknown and not frequently visited because of the amount of time it takes to get there. It's surrounded on all sides by jungle as far as the eye can see, and the structures themselves are majestic and mysterious. A beautiful and mesmerizing sight.

On a few separate occasions, I've had the privilege to serve at an orphanage in Baja California, Mexico. The way the children smile could melt the hardest heart. The poverty I witnessed in some of the places we visited on outreach really made me realize just how much I have. I am so thankful to God for all he has blessed me with.
