As a person, I'm easy going, creative, open- minded, positive and adventurous. I grew up on a “hobby” farm in Machias, New York with two younger siblings. I graduated in 2015 from St. Bonaventure University with a degree in history and art history with a focus in museum studies. I love to travel, read, draw (specifically with charcoal), paint, do yoga, cook, play the violin and write. Open to obtaining and learning new skills.
Currently, I am working as a cook at a catering company called Vibrant Table in Portland, OR.

Current Mission:
To emerge in many cultures as possible and to spread kindness. Eventually, I want to live in Scotland and possibility run my own art gallery if I don't land an art gallery job.

Philosophy:
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
~ Oscar Wilde
