About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and to know myself and others through that.

ABOUT ME

I'm one of those people that completely freezes when asked, "So, tell me about yourself," and responds awkwardly with something like, "I like fun stuff." I'm incredibly giggly. I love to laugh, and I do it often. And I get really excited when I make other people laugh, totally makes my day.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people the way that you would like to be treated - with kindness and respect.
