CURRENT MISSION

To travel where I wish to go and meet amazing people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm an energetic person who is always looking on the bright side and loves to meet new people! I am especially up for stimulating conversation & delicious food..
I just moved to Toronto at the beginning of January to study naturopathic medicine!
Back in Vancouver, I spent a great deal of my time volunteering at a student-run non-profit cafe/grocery store at my university that makes available organic, local and fair trade items on campus. Check us out here! www.ubcsprouts.ca
In my free time, I enjoy my undying love for dance and music!

PHILOSOPHY

I feel like my purpose in life is to help other people, and that I need to become sufficiently knowledgeable in order to do so. It is because of this drive that I am in school studying what I am passionate about - when I am one day qualified, I want to be able to help take care of not only my family and friends but also other people in the world who need it.

Interests

Learning new things - anything we can teach each other is always something worthwhile.
Good food and lots of tea!
Biking, yoga, hiking, running, tennis, and dancing (mostly ballet, but all types of dance)
Natural health, especially nutrition and physical fitness
Photography, although I am an amateur myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge of food, nutrition, health and sustainability, as well as some Spanish language skills.. and, I can teach you some ballet if you're interested! We can also just dance freestyle in my kitchen, which seems to be the centre of my apartment :)

I would love to learn how to swim properly, how to play a musical instrument (used to play the clarinet years ago, but that's it!) and how to create new aromas in my kitchen.
