ABOUT ME

I just graduated back in December and have been spending my time in Nashville waiting to venture back to Germany to teach. I don't plan at the moment to make teaching my profession, rather I am hoping that the Fulbright grant I received will allow me more time to figure out my next move in life, and naturally time to travel and meet new and interesting people of all backgrounds. I am passionate about music, art, beauty, and peace. I am very open minded and believe it is the key to forging peace and mutual understanding.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to experience beauty in every way I can, to help others, learn from them, and share what I can with them.
