CURRENT MISSION

Finish my studies. Travel the UK. Travel Europe. Get a job. (in that order) :)

ABOUT ME

At first, I am fairly shy, but only in front of big groups; however, I love good one-on-one discussions. I truly appreciate getting to know other people, especially their story.

As I said, I am a dreamer, always scheming and determining a way to accomplish all I have set out to do. In the end, I want those efforts to benefit others; this is an ongoing effort though, not situational or the culmination of the fruits of ambition and success.

To be honest, I am most like my mom. She is the most considerate, sensitive and loving person I have ever met. Moreover, I have never met someone that disagrees with that statement. :)

Anything more that you would like to know about me I am happy to share. Thanks!

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being in Washington, D.C. for Inauguration Day in 2009. Being part of history was brilliant! I've never felt such a sense of genuine national enthusiasm for a 'new day'. It is an unforgettable day.
