CURRENT MISSION

The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time. (Jack London)

ABOUT ME

I have been living in Chisinau, Moldova for the past two years while working for in a microfinance institution. I love my work and living abroad for the first time. I'm interested in economic development and am addicted to traveling, broadening my perspective on the world by experiencing new cultures and learning from the people I meet. I'm a very laid-back person who seeks out adventures in everyday life. My ideal down-time is spent in conversation with interesting people, drinking good wine, and listening to classic rock. I love to learn and can't wait to be back in school. I have no idea where I'm going to be in six months, which I find really exciting...!

PHILOSOPHY

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)
