About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pursuing my athletic ambitions and finding a event planning career within the health and fitness industry. Hence why I travel out of state to volunteer at athletic events like Ironman and local triathlons in Nevada.

ABOUT ME

I recently returned from teaching English in Japan for four years. Now I am pursuing a event planning career and making new friends along the way. My hobbies involve photography and reading positive psychology books.

PHILOSOPHY

How will you grow if you don't continue to challenge yourself?

Be kind to those who share their time with you.
