About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being creative, enjoying nature, helping people reach their potential!

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Dallas, TX, but am looking to move somewhere with mountains and rivers (maybe NM or CO), as I love the outdoors, hiking, skiing, and all that comes with this awesome beauty (as well as meeting people who enjoy it too)!

I lived in French-speaking Switzerland for 14 months and have traveled to various spots around Europe. Studied in France and lived with a French family for a month.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all in this together. Treat others with respect. Listen to people's stories and seek to understand. Enjoy and share life!
