CURRENT MISSION

Balance. Being grateful yet challenging myself.

ABOUT ME

For the most part, I am easy going, but I always enjoy a good challenge. I would much rather have something difficult on my hands than boring tasks.

I love being outdoors. It's a bit cliche, but mountains call me. I spent 4 months volunteering and camping in Patagonia, and found it difficult to leave such a beautiful place. I plan my travel around the outdoors available there. Different cultures make a destination even more appealing, but I primarily want to be on a dirt path in the middle of nowhere.

Biking, frisbee, hiking, scuba diving, and I'll give just about anything a try. I have a border collie whom I trained and love to hike with. I love 3D art: pottery, bone carving, stone carving.

PHILOSOPHY

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt
