CURRENT MISSION

To live and love.

ABOUT ME

I'm a small-town girl with really big dreams. I've traveled the world, but still feel like there is SO much more out there...so I want to see more! I'm currently a full-time graduate student at the University of Minnesota so my travel plans are on hold...but not for long! I've lived in Spain on three different occasions and definitely left a piece of my heart there! Mastering Spanish has become one of my life goals. As much as I love seeing the world and the crazy experiences along the way, faith, family, and friends mean even more to me.

PHILOSOPHY

As the saying goes, "Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives." I'd like to say when it's all said and done that I truly lived!
