CURRENT MISSION

To make new friends and explore as much of the world as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am a California native. I went to the University of California, Santa Cruz where I lived for 4 years. After completing my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I moved to Chicago, Illinois, but eventually decided to move back to Cali to go to graduate school. I attended University of Califonia, Davis where I earned my teaching credential in English and a Master's degree in Education. I am now a secondary school teacher. During the summers when I am not working I love to travel. Throughout the past couple summers I have visited Japan, Puerto Rico, Fiji and Australia. Everytime I go on a new trip it always reconfirms just how much I love traveling around the world. I believe a person can always learn so much from visiting new places and experiencing new cultures. I think traveling is important because it reminds you of how big the world truly is and how different people can be. I believe diversity is beautiful.
