About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25 year old graduate student who lives in Manhattan and studies Psychology and Education. I love to travel and my favorite places include Ko Tao in Thailand, Sapa in Vietnam, and Cinque Terre in Italy. I love exploring new cultures, hiking, swimming, eating, and meeting people everywhere I go!

PHILOSOPHY

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of indie pop, some electronic. Currently my spotify playlist has a lot of Generationals, Lorde, and Tune-Yards.

I read constantly although mostly for school these days. I best fiction I read recently was The PostMortal by Drew Magarty.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

DONE: I ended a Guiness World Record by beating a team with the longest winning streak in sport's history when I was 17. It was my high school badminton match.

SEEN: Scuba diving and floating in the middle of a giant school of fish in Thailand was probably one of the more amazing moments in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study psychology and education, so I've been spending my life thinking about WHAT education should be and HOW to bring that into fruition. I've also done fairly extensive travelling in parts of Europe and Southeast Asia. I'm happy to share anything I know about my own studies and those places!
