CURRENT MISSION

Love People.

ABOUT ME

I go to school at the University of Georgia and I'm double majoring in International Affairs and African Studies. Naturally, then, I love traveling , learning about the world and meeting all the fantastic people in it. I love both the outdoors and the big city, how could you ever choose? I'm up for just about anything and go with the flow. Whatever you like to do, I'll give it an honest try!

Out of all the big and wonderful things in life, my favorite things are small. Reading the NYT, getting coffee, taking a walk... nothing is better than sitting up at night with some friends, new or old.

I'm not much for tourist-y traveling. When I'm in a new place I'd much rather find a local hangout and enjoy then run around trying to see everything. That being said, I like to learn the history and culture of where I am.

I love to cook, especially with others.

PHILOSOPHY

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."

Life is all about relationships. You are not defined by the things in your life, but the people in your life. I love listening to people, learning about their life and experiences. You can learn more by listening than talking.

No reserve, No regrets.
