CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to find out what I want to do with my life through traveling and meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

I was born in New York City and have lived there my whole life. I am currently studying abroad for the semester in New Orleans, São Paulo, Cape Town and Hanoi with the International Honors Program. Along with 30 other students and 3 traveling professors, I am studying anthropology, urban political economy, and urban planning/sustainable environment. After this program is finished in December, I will return to Vassar College where I am majoring in Urban Studies with a correlate in Studio Art.
