ABOUT ME

If there's one definitive thing about me, it's that I love to learn. I live to wander through old cities, share a pint with new friends, spend hours with an old book.

I've lived in different cities in France and the US, but I'm currently a graduate student in Paris, studying museology. Who knows where I'll find myself in a couple of years!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow, where to begin?

The energy I felt meditating on top of Wayna Picchu?
Taking art history classes at the Louvre?
Drinking IPA's next to an ice cold lake in eastern Oregon?
Watching my little sisters grow up?
