CURRENT MISSION

Adventure is the game, and I plan on playing for the rest of my life!

ABOUT ME

I am a full-time student at the University of Portland Oregon. I have a family in Tucson, Arizona consisting of two younger brothers, a mother and a father. I have other family throughout the United States including: Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. I am the first in my family to branch out of the deep south and am loving every single second I am spending here in Portland!

PHILOSOPHY

I suppose if I had to summarize why I live the way I do I would say I spend a good amount of time trying to improve myself, whether it be physically, academically, mentally, or culturally. I am always pushing myself to learn more about people, places, ideas, and traditions. I feel like being open to new things helps with the gaining of new knowledge as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I a huge fan of folk music, music in general, but if you got a guitar, banjo, stand up bass, mandolin, or fiddle, count my ears in! I enjoy indie films and comedies mostly. A few favorite directors/writer would be Wes Anderson and Woody Allen. As far as books go I really like most classics as well as modernist literature as well. I'm a huge fan of poetry, especially Allen Ginsberg. Some of my favorite authors include: Chuck Palahnuik, Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Wright, William Faulkner, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since I grew up in the beautiful state of Arizona I have been blessed with being able to see the Grand Canyon on more than one occasion. It's breathe taking, and I would highly suggest everyone to see it at least once in their lives!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to be able to teach someone about the ideals of environmental soundness, and how important it is to the future of human kind. Also, I'm a supporter of the ideals and culture of feminism and would love to be able to discuss and share opinions on that subject as well. I would love to learn about the different areas I will be visiting from a local's perspective. Culture and tradition are a major part of people's lives in different regions and different countries. I hope to be able to observe and take away certain knowledges I haven't accumulated before while using CS.
