About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out my mission, working odd jobs while traveling and wandering, finding a greater purpose.

ABOUT ME

Hey there, I'm the biggest wanderer ever right now. I'm originally from a small town in Michigan, but split that scene for bigger and better things in California six years ago. I finished college, and wow, it's already been a year and a half of graduate life. I have a passion for helping other people, that's why I've worked at a bunch of different non-profits, and I love working with kids. I also really dig intercultural exchange. I studied French so that I could travel, and be able to fully immerse myself in French culture, instead of just being merely a tourist. Obviously, I love traveling. Just went back to Europe in the fall, after living in Paris a few years ago. I love Europe, but I'm ready to see other parts of the world, too. South America, Africa, Asia,Australia, I'm coming soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
