About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To love whatever I do
ABOUT ME
I'm enthusiastic and yearn to do as much with my life as possible. I love to travel, meet new people, and learn from them. I have an undergrad degree in Environmental Science & Policy and Spanish. Wherever I may be in the course of my life, I will pursue things for which I have a passion. That is my guiding light.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is meant for living, not passing through.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hiked the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and it was simply breathtaking.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am available for conversations in Russian or Spanish - or English, if you prefer. I've also picked up some recipes; I have one for particularly delicious cornbread that I'd love to share.
