ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 year old girl, out of college for about a year now. I'm from Texas, but I've lived in Washington for about 8 years and pretty much consider this my home.

I spend most of time chilling with friends, working, and making theatre. My favorite theatre activities are teaching, directing, building, and scenic design.

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't about the sum of all the good and bad times when everything is said and done; it's about experiencing new things, feeling intricately and completely, and having snowball fights while listening to the Clash

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friends and I take an annual trip to the temperate rainforest in our state (Washington). Though I have been there several times now to the same spot, I am amazed each time once we finish our short hike to some great mossy rocks on the Quinault river. I have never experienced anything like sitting on those rocks, looking at all the plants and trees in all phases of growth as their sources of life, the water and the sun, surround me. There is not much like it.

Another awe-inspiring moment was just a couple days ago. My first trip to Europe began in the first week of September. Everything about the trip has been amazing, but seeing cathedrals for the first time has truly been incredible. The most amazing moment was seeing La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona for the first time. The outside of the building is gorgeous, but going inside was very moving. The thought that one person could design something so original and that it could resonate with so many people that they would take many years and lots of money to construct it was really inspiring.
