ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old, holding a bachelors degree in Film, Television, & Media Studies, with a burgeoning interest in Public Health. I am an honest, good-natured fellow, non-smoker, who loves the outdoors and a good book. I am great with animals and enjoy cooking whenever possible. As a previous traveler, being a guest in someones home, I pride myself in being respectful and considerate to their lifestyle, and can demonstrate this through references. What I really like about Vermont is the tradition of community-based social actions and healthy sustainability. I truly look forward to engaging with local Vermonters and learning a lot about the way of life in the Green Mountain State.

PHILOSOPHY

He who finds a friend, finds a treasure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am currently apart of a program called Compassionate Listening at a local hospital. As apart of my volunteer service, I have learned to enhance inter-communication and promote the health and wellness of patients with acute/chronic illnesses by taking the time and patience, one-on-one, to compassionately listen to the needs of the individual by truly being present.
