CURRENT MISSION

do one crazy thing every single day

ABOUT ME

I'm a very outgoing person. I love talking, meeting new people, cooking, eating, traveling, science, running, being with friends and family, swimming, big questions, and being busy... I'm also a hardcore optimist!

PHILOSOPHY

Everything makes more sense when you consider that the people around you have hopes, dreams, and feelings too. People don't do things without a reason... so when things start to annoy you, like that adorable old man in front of you driving 40 below the speed limit... consider others' possible motivations for what they're doing, and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Interests

I feel most at home when I get wrapped up in a good conversation.. one that's so good, you forget that you're even having it.

I'm a pretty big nerd. I love science, particularly biology :)

I've spent a lot of time in cities lately, but I'm a country girl at heart. I really enjoy being outside, and I love anything and everything to do with water -- from swimming to kayaking to skiing (on water and snow!)
