About Me

Traveler, pilgrim, and lover of life. I enjoy playing guitar, doing yoga, and having conversations with new people. My most extensive travelling was in 2017 when I visited 8 countries in Europe and walked the Camino de Santiago! During college I studied abroad in Samoa as well. After college, I served in the Jesuit volunteer corps in Los Angeles working in homeless services. Divinity School graduate, road trip enthusiast. Most recently, I lived for five months at a remote mountain village in the North Cascades in Washington state, USA.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - The Hobbit, Mary Oliver's poetry

Music - Singer songwriters like Ben Howard, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bob Dylan, and Sarah Jarosz

Movies - Big fan of Taika Waititi (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Boy), Shrek, huge fan of the new birding documentary Listers. It's way funnier and better than you'd expect.
