ABOUT ME

I'm a graduate student at KU in Lawrence. Friends would say I'm considerate, caring, and intelligent. I'm pretty quiet, although I enjoy good conversation. It's easier to talk with 2 or 3 people than 20 or 30, even though that doesn't mean I don't like being around a lot of people sometimes too. I use intuition to make a lot of decisions. I make a good mirror for people. I'll sometimes spend months thinking about things before talking about them with anyone. My Myers Briggs type is INFP.

Interests

Chinese and health are two things that will be important to me for the rest of my life. I studied Mandarin in college and lived in Taiwan for a year. There are too many things that I want to do in this world and I need an army of clones to do them all. I like to spend time at my crossfit gym, taking Olympic lifting classes. I've been reading the 2nd Game of Thrones book and The Dark Tower graphic novels recently. When I graduate I hope to be able to get back into dancing, and make more time for painting and going to shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught English at a university in Xi'an, China one summer, and got the chance to go into some nearby mountains. After half a day of hiking, my companions and I came to an incredible metal Buddha statues, several stories tall, built in the side of the mountain. You'd really have to see it to appreciate it. I can't do it justice here.
