About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be inspired and inspire others while experiencing the whole world

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate and I love life. I'm easily inspired and I love to learn. I'm a recent Environmental Engineering graduate (a major which I love!) I'm a tree hugger, nature lover, and I think water is the most amazing thing. I love talking to people and hearing the stories they have to share. I'm obsessed with national parks and would love to visit all of them one day. I love the wild nature and would love to show people just how beautiful it is and why its worth protecting.

PHILOSOPHY

Love life, love yourself. Enjoy others and never forget to enjoy the little things

My favorite music is usually folkish, but I listen to all kinds. I love to read and I have so many favorites! My current near and dear to my heart are, The Life of Pi, The Alchemist, and recently, The Big Thirst.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing experiences in my life was when I was visiting Yosemite. It was my last day there and I really wanted to see the sequoia trees in Mariposa Grove. The road that led to the entrance of the grove was closed because of snow and ice, and the only way to get to them was to hike. It was almost sun down and the park ranger advised us not to hike because it was going to be pitch black walking back down. I happened to have hiking boots on and happened to have a headlamp, so I took off running up the mountain to see the trees before the sun went down. I finally made it up there with about 5 min of sunlight left. I was the only person up there, my group was a few min behind me. It was just me and the trees. I had beaten the sun, and I felt so lucky to have the usually packed and overcrowded grove just to myself for 5 whole min. One of the most amazing things I've seen and felt in my life.
