CURRENT MISSION To experience new people and cultures, and gain a broader knowledge of the world ABOUT ME I graduated Cal State Long Beach with a BFA in Illustration and hope to one day become a concept artist. Right now I am doing JET and living in Japan. I am enjoying every moment I have abroad and hope to improve my japanese while I am here. I did Semester at Sea in Fall of 2005. It changed my life. I was able to visit places like India, Myanmar, and Venezuela just to name a few. It opened my eyes to embrace a more global perspective. I love to eat exotic foods and have had everything from snake's blood to fried scorpion. One of my favorite things to do is get lost in a foreign country and find my way back! PHILOSOPHY If you sit around and wait for stuff to happen, you'll waste your life waiting and not living.
