About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see the world, and have a blast doing it

ABOUT ME

Where to begin! The first thing everyone should know about me is that I'm obsessed with singing and music. I love to travel and see how other people/cultures live. I like food, photography, art, hiking, swimming, coffee, cats, soccer (football), and dancing. I studied Diplomacy and Global Politics and French in undergrad and I am currently pursuing a masters in international relations at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne. I love nature and the natural beauty this planet has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

My ultimate goal is to be happy in life. I don't yet know what I'm going to do with it, but happiness seems to cover just about everything I want.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Singing a mass in German in St Stephansdom Cathedral in Vienna was pretty moving.
