CURRENT MISSION

Be more adventurous. Broaden my horizons and expand my worldview.

ABOUT ME

I am an American student spending an academic year in Paris. I love elephants, kids, and doing community service. I eventually want to go to medical school to become a traveling doctor missionary. I will finish with some words that describe me: Christian, traveler, musician, artist.

PHILOSOPHY

“If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies: Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank people will try to cheat you: Be honest anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight: Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous of you: Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten by tomorrow: Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your best anyway.”
― Mother Teresa

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During one of our (my family) many road trips to Death Valley, we found a natural hot spring where we spent two hours with a grandpa from Italy who miraculously recovered from his cancer by coming to this place; a young Australian couple who traveled halfway across the globe to explore Death Valley; and a surfer dude from San Diego.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am the Game Master. I can teach you 100 games that require nothing but a group of people.

I am really interested in learning new languages! (obviously I can't just learn every language I encounter, so I like to learn how to count 1-10).
