CURRENT MISSION

To travel, to learn

ABOUT ME

I have recently returned from Japan where I spent most of the last three years of my life. I started out studying abroad in Nagasaki, and then switched roles to become a teacher in Hiroshima.

Now I am 25 years old, back in the US, and going through a bit of a transition period while I try to find the next step of my life. I am currently in graduate school studying for a Masters in Information Technology, and looking for the next unforgettable adventure. My greatest desire is to continually meet new people and explore new places.

I am also a writer, and have just recently begun publishing my fiction professionally. A good story, in any medium, is my greatest passion.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life in a way that minimizes regret. The greatest treasures you can have are experiences.
