CURRENT MISSION

To break out of my comfort zone and experience the world!

ABOUT ME

Fun-loving, adventurous, open-minded, multi-cultural, fitness-oriented! Wanderlust is my middle name.

Languages, dancing, karaokeing, eating, and traveling are my passions. I come from a very diverse background. My mother is half Chinese-Filipina and my father is German-American. This is why I fell in love with learning about different cultures and languages. I just graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Linguistics, and then from Universidad de Alcalá de Henares in Spain with a MA in Bilingual Education.

I love to laugh, sometimes too much. I also love puns! I am a self-proclaimed cook (ketogenic/ paleo lifestyle anyone?)

PHILOSOPHY

You will only achieve what you allow yourself to achieve.

Live life happily and forgive!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be born into a world where difference is accepted and encouraged rather than feared and exterminated.

Hmm.. these are one of those things that are impossible to answer out of context. Too many to think of!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love encouraging people to challenge themselves and in return challenging me. I am not a trend setter, but I think it is important to lead and to teach by example. I appreciate criticism as long as it is meant to be helpful and constructive rather than hurtful and destructive.

There may be billions of people in the world, but I believe each person has their unique style to give to the world and leave a lasting impression, not a legacy.
