I believe each of our lives is a story; we get to choose how to share it. I choose love and purpose and that the world is an mind-blowing expanse with endless possibilities, and I want to live my life in a way that will make a large impact.

I left my heart and home in New Orleans, LA to start anew in Long Beach, CA when I moved to work for a non-profit organization called LiNK- Liberty in North Korea.

I treasure building community, sharing, and having one-on-one conversations with people in order to learn more about them.
I love to create, write, and play music, climb trees, and explore. I want to live as though everyday is a new adventure just waiting to share its beauty and secrets.

Not all those who wander are lost~
