CURRENT MISSION

To go everywhere, see everything, and embrace every new adventure!

ABOUT ME

I recently moved to San Francisco and returned to college to get a second bachelors, this time in Computer Science. My previous degree is from the University of California, Irvine in International Studies.

I love to travel and can't wait to live all over the world; I also love learning new languages and am always looking for chances to practice the ones I have learned, since up to now those have been learned only in classroom settings.

I like having adventures but haven't had that many so far in my life, so that's what I'm dedicating my 20's to - having tons of adventures that give me great stories!

"Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." - Helen Keller

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still developing this. I've grown a lot during college and right now my personal philosophy is to embrace life and new opportunities and to not be so serious!

I want to go with the flow, love every day, and have new adventures constantly!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in a delegation called Global Youth Connect. We traveled to Bosnia and spoke with local students, diplomats, and NGO representatives about the current state of the country and the struggles they continue to have with peaceful relations. It is a humbling experience to look around at a gorgeous country with tons of welcoming, friendly people and know how long a road they have to peace.
