CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to see the world in all its beauty, and hopefully leave it a little bit better when I go

ABOUT ME

I am a third year university student at Iowa State University in the United States. I fell in love with the world and now I want to see as much of it as possible. I have been studying for the past semester at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. In a year and a half I will be graduating, and then - who knows? I am interested in international health and development, and hope that I can work all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I will read (almost) anything when it comes to books. I love many types of music too, although I've never gotten into country or 'gangsta rap'. If you like a band called Stars, we'll probably be great friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While roadtripping in Namibia with 5 other international students from Stellenbosch University, we camped on a beach near Luderitz. It may or may not have been an actual campsite...but after a braai on the beach we got to see an amazing sunset over the atlantic ocean, fall asleep to the sound of wind and waves, and wake up to a brilliant sunrise over the desert.
