CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and learn about different people, skills, and cultures!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and learn about other cultures. My latest travel is to Paris, where I decided to rent an apartment for a month to get the real Parisien feel. It's been a while since I've spoken French so I'm a little rusty! I absolutely love to bake, French pastries more than anything, & I've become quite a macaroon connoisseur. I enjoy playing the piano when I'm not swamped with clinicals, as well as riding my bike to the local markets. I laugh at every joke so I also love going to comedy shows. I'm also down to stay in and watch reruns of how I met your mother! I'm probably their number one fan & I'm convinced that I am Robin.

As for my future, I'm a nerd who loves school, so I plan on getting my doctorate of nurse practitioning after I graduate. I hope to be a Nurse Practicioner in an Emergency Room somewhere in a large city. (Ideally that would be all over the world!) I would also love to open my own bakery or dessert bar downtown.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love just about every movie, I'm a huge fan of movies, tv, and theater. As for music, my top favorite bands include The Shins, Coeur de Pirate, Belle & Sebastion, The Strokes, The Bird and the Bee, The Beatles, Bocelli, etc. I'm also a big fan of classical & jazz. Leisure books are hard to come by as a college student, but I've recently found an addiction to The Hunger Games series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Why ruin a good conversation piece? Just ask me, I have plenty!

Teach, Learn, Share
