CURRENT MISSION

Learn, Explore, Meet!

ABOUT ME

It's difficult to sit down and try to describe yourself in a few words, but I would say that I'm a fun, humorous, interested, friendly, honest, and relaxed person who loves to discover new things and meet new people. I love being outside and going on adventures by myself or with friends, whether it be backpacking, sea kayaking, road-tripping, or just exploring a new city or town! I don't think I really have any enemies and tend to get along with everyone, and I'm excited to get to meet more people through CS!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music. I like to play guitar and a little bit of drums and harmonica, and I love listening to music as well. Jimi Hendrix is far and away my favorite artist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked in Alaska for 2 summers of my life, in the Chugach National Forest and in Denali National Park.

I love to kayak, and I have been fortunate enough to be able to work for Whitman College as a sea kayak guide in the San Juans and on smaller trips as well on rivers closer to the school. I also got to work for Alaska Sea Kayakers based out of Whittier, AK for some time during the summer of 2012.

I've gotten to do some great backpacking as well in my home state of Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas, in Alaska, and in Washington (state).
