ABOUT ME

I am American and go to college in Boston but am currently abroad in France for the year, studying painting, art history and French. I love adventuring, traveling, meeting new people, and trying new foods, languages and cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Dive right in and give it a try! What's the worst that can happen as long as you do your best?
These are things my dad always tells me and have served me pretty well so far!
