About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to travel, meet cool people, enjoy life
ABOUT ME
I spend most of my time as a full time student at Stanford University and much of my extra time there as a member of their varsity synchronized swim team. I study a lot of different disciplines at school. I think the human mind is so intriguing and I want to learn more about why we do the things we do. Other than that I love to enjoy life hang out with my friends and meet new people.
If I could I would spend my time traveling. I love to travel but haven't had much opportunity to do so. I want to go to all the continents. I think traveling is way more than visually seeing a place you have to meet people and totally emerge yourself. I am pretty outdoorsy and love to have adventures. The beach is my favorite place and I love and have done almost every aquatic sport from swimming and diving to wake boarding, surfing, scuba diving. I love photography and documenting all my trips and life in general.
PHILOSOPHY
enjoy life and the little moments that make you happy

Music, Movies, and Books
my favorite book is east of eden but that isnt a set decision I'll read anything someone recommends to me. I love movies don't have a favorite probably watch the most romantic comedies though and my favorite of that is Love Actually. I listen to almost everything except screemo, I like to party with popular rap/ hip hop, drive to country, chill with alternative, and listen to anything else along the way.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Swam for the US at FINA jr world championships for synchro in Russia
my list if countries visiting is rapidly increasing and its exciting to have contacts all over and be able to check off world cities
Teach, Learn, Share
I know a lot about synchronized swimming, i have been on national team and know the inner workings of that. Although I do not have much out of country experience I have lived on both sides of the country and have mixed with people of all backgrounds and interests. I have learned that friends and family are the most important and if you want to you can make any type of long distance relationship work.
