CURRENT MISSION

Everything. Nothing. And whatever is in between.

ABOUT ME

Born in Massachusetts, raised in Michigan, and currently living in Germany.

I'm pretty open-minded and adaptable, yet strong and independent. I have a fierce sense of loyalty. Often I say that I'll try anything at least once. Adventure excites me. I'm a quirky, animal-loving vegetarian. I sometimes start dancing in random places at random times and I like to swim where it is not allowed.

It probably goes without saying, but I love to travel. I want to see the world. I love to meet new people and experience different ways of life. Language and culture fascinate me.

PHILOSOPHY

I value honesty and respect above all else.

"Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

教，学，和分享

Beauty is mobile. It's not necessarily the smile itself which is beautiful, but rather the mystical process of its formation.
