ABOUT ME

I'm studying community development and trying to figure out how to create change without burning out. I'm just now getting into international development, and am especially interested in international economics. When I'm not so boring, I go dancing, like to enjoy Oregon summers, and plan my next adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once lived with 15 other people in a warehouse where we threw huge parties once a month. Saw the most beautiful sunrise at the top of Haleakala in Maui. There was a full moon on the other side of the volcano.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can crochet. I am interested in making organizations more enduring, and love to share ideas. I am helping college freshmen with writing, technology competencies (web design, excel, e-mail, powerpoint), and realizing they are in control of their own destinies.
