CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Europe, making friends, and having some adventures!

ABOUT ME

I am a 20 year old college student studying Political Science at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. I am very involved in community service activities in DC and around the US. In college I also am a member of an A Cappella group, singing at events within the university community. I also study History and Psychology, hoping to pursue a career in Public Relations and Political Communication.
I am studying abroad in Paris during this Fall 2013 at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris (SciencesPo). I have an apartment in the 5th arrondissment in the Latin Quarter.
I am very clean and organized, and love to meet new people who have done lots of traveling. I really enjoy swapping stories of adventures, especially in new places I have never been. I love pets (particularly dogs)!

PHILOSOPHY

I like to be open-minded and compassionate, understanding that everyone has exciting experiences to share and has struggled in life. I always try my hardest and am excited by new experiences. I learn by asking questions and appreciate discussions, especially with different opinions.
One big reason I am studying abroad in Europe is because of my fascinating and love of history. I believe that in order to know where we're going we must know where we've come from. I have spent all my years in school learning much about history and in Europe I'll have the chance to see things in person!
