I am an easy-going graduate with my Masters in Global Politics and International Affairs. I am passionate about travel and hope to start a career in poverty alleviation in the nonprofit sector. I love to cook (vegetarian), read, an explore. I have been to a few interesting places around the globe and hope to continue to travel, meet new people, eat more food, learn new languages, do yoga wherever I can, and see new sights!

Music, Movies, and Books

This varies widely. My taste in movies are anything concerning nature or society, documentaries, action, nothing too scary, but I am especially fond of TEDTalks, and actually did a TEDxTalk at my university about travel. Music and books are a wide range and is ever-changing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are too many to pick just one. Life is amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have traveled a bit, I have quite a few stories to share from that. I studied Politics and International Affairs in Graduate School so I love to talk about different people's opinions and viewpoints. Maine, where I come from, is a pretty unique place, lots of snow yet in the warmer seasons it is ripe with outdoor activities.
