About Me

I believe most things are either a good idea, or a good story.

I'm born and raised in San Diego, California and beach-hopped up the coast to Santa Barbara for college, so I've never lived away from the ocean. I received my bachelor's in biology while in Santa Barbara. I love to go to concerts or stumble onto a live performance around town. I spent 10 weeks last summer in Japan, which was an enriching experience and a bit of a culture shock. I've been wanting to visit Ireland for a while and finally got my flight tickets.
