CURRENT MISSION

To see the world! Meet cool people, take amazing pictures and experience life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated from Northwestern University (studied Manufacturing and Design Engineering and Industrial Engineering) and I don't start my full time job until September. I plan on spending several month traveling and enjoying my freedom!! (Management Consulting with Booz&Co).
I have always loved to travel and seek adventure at every turn. My father was a pilot and I have had my pilots license since I was 17. I like to Scuba dive, rock climb, run triathlons (although I'm a little out of shape at the moment!) and read. I recently took up Photography and love taking pictures-- I cannot wait to take pictures on my trip of all of the amazing things I see. I studied abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina in College for 4 months. I have also backpacked through western Europe with my sister and had a blast.

PHILOSOPHY

No fear. live life to the fullest-- time goes by fast. If you're not happy then make a change!
