CURRENT MISSION

Excited to do some globe-trotting and meet interesting people before starting law school next fall!

ABOUT ME

I am a very upbeat, outgoing, and adventurous person. While growing up, my mom worked at the United Nations so I was exposed to many different cultures and diversity throughout my childhood. I have since developed a deep appreciation for learning about other places, people, and ways of life and what they can teach me.

I love meeting new people, sports and outdoor activities, volunteering with kids, listening to jazz, dancing, trying new foods, exploring various spiritual practices, and talking about politics. I also love animals!

I studied political science in college and I'm really excited to spend several months traveling to places I've never been before starting law school next fall!

PHILOSOPHY

Spread love, do good for others, keep an open mind, and treasure every day you get on earth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I witnessed a C-section while working in Cameroon a few years ago.

I've eaten grasshoppers, live octopus, and chocolate infused with mushrooms.

Last year, I crossed the DMZ border between North and South Korea (with permission) which was nerve-wracking but fascinating!
