CURRENT MISSION

I love learning about new cultures and want to share the joy I've experienced living in another country with other people. Good conversation and laughter is all you need.

ABOUT ME

I'm a senior at Arizona State University, studying political science and Spanish. I studied in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for 4 months, and had the best time of my life. I'm very interested in learning about new cultures, especially Latin America. I love speaking Spanish and trying to learn new dialects. I'm starting to learn Portuguese as well. I am currently applying for a Fulbright scholarship for an English Teaching Assistantship in Chile ... I'm very excited! I also will be pursuing my Master's in Latin American Studies at either Berkeley, UT Austin, UCLA, Stanford, Georgetown, or NYU.

I enjoy running and am currently training for 26.2 miles. I'm a portrait photographer and love black and white photos.

PHILOSOPHY
