ABOUT ME

I am compassionate, curious, somewhat introspective, open-minded (I try). I'm ambitious, but I don't take myself or anyone else too seriously. My goal is to visit 30 countries before I'm 30.

PHILOSOPHY

Ask questions. Be a compassionate ally.

Interests

Writing, reading, going to the movies, trying new things. In 2014, I've tried, among other things, laser tag, deep-fried Oreos, and crab cakes for the first time.
