About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spend as much time outdoors as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a city girl who's passionate about nature and preserving the environment. Most of my free time is spent galavanting with friends in Brooklyn, playing Ultimate frisbee in the park and puttering around my apartment. I have a great group of friends who love to go on adventures - biking to national beaches for swimming, Saturdays filled with free NYC cultural events, picnics in the park, camping upstate. I studied psychology as an undergrad because I love understanding people, am I'm about to start business school because I want to help improve the carbon footprint of businesses.

PHILOSOPHY

My own recipe for happiness is striking the right balance between working toward a meaningful future and enjoying fun in the present.
