CURRENT MISSION

To be a better global citizen and an agent of positive change. To love without conditions.

ABOUT ME

Happy, upbeat, glass-half-full kind of person. Open-minded, diplomatic, creative, enthusiastic, good sense of humor! Always down for a good conversation or an adventure. As someone once said about me: "You are seriously the chillest lady I know."

PHILOSOPHY

"Love your God with your heart, love your neighbor as your own, and the rest is just a guess good as mine." - Damion Suomi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered in Belfast, N. Ireland for 11 months in 2012-2013. That was the most challenging, enriching, and rewarding experience of my life so far! I also jumped off a SUPER high dock into Laguna de Apoyo in Nicaragua -- this is important because I'm terrified of heights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy cooking, gardening, and I could probably draw a cartoony portrait of you. I am willing to share all of these valuable skills, and in exchange I would especially like to learn how to cook your favorite local cuisine, hear some funny stories, or hear about the best places to check out in your hometown.
