CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel as much as I can, meet amazing people along the way, and experience new cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'm a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago studying urban planning. I have grown up in California, Illinois, and South Carolina while visiting my mother's family in London almost every year. I want to work in transportation/logistics after I graduate.

Skydiving over the beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand is definitely a highlight of my life. I will never forget the breathtaking views from 10,000 ft in the air.

Teach, Learn, Share
