About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to take full advantage of the time I have on this amazing planet.

ABOUT ME

I am a senior at Walla Walla University, studying to get my BS degree in Elementary Education and a BA in History. I love to travel! I am an optimistic and flexible person. I had a wonderful experience couch surfing in Europe when I lived in Poland for a year, and I look forward to meeting more CSers in the future!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be a waste of flesh. Enjoy life and be open to new opportunities and experiences. And always be willing to learn!
