CURRENT MISSION

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit betters; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.

Small town Florida raised, California educated, currently living and studying in Berlin, Germany. I share a lovely space with my fiancé and two cats.

Personality. Truest of true INFJ.

I'm easy going, get along with anyone (not sure if that's a blessing or a curse), friendly and curious. I love meeting people and making connections with interesting and diverse people and seeing things through the eyes of locals. And a beer wouldn't hurt. I hear they're healthy for broadening horizons at times;)

PHILOSOPHY

"We are social beings. We crave connections to others individually, to our communities, to our world. Be open enough to enjoy the spontaneous connections that come from making a friend on vacation or sharing a witty remark with your seatmate on the bus. Genuine curiousity and kindness are amazing ways to foster connections, new and old."

音乐、电影和书籍

Favorite author would have to be Bill Bryson, VS Ramachandran, Susan Cain, Oliver Sacks, Malcolm Gladwell...I'm a sucker for a nonfiction neuroscience book.

Music: Death Cab for Cutie, Mumford and Sons and similar easy going indie rock jams as well as catchy, powerful vocals like Florence and the Machine or Lana Del Rey. I am one with the 70s/80s rock music: The Eagles, Bad Company, Lynard Skynard, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, etc. I'm also into Taylor Swift. I am a female after all. Glitter coursing through my veins and whatnot.

Movies: I'm bad at this one but I'm trying to open up to them I swear!;) I love The Nightmare Before Christmas if that counts.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I organized and hosted a scholarship drive with a world touring band that made thousands of dollars to benefit deserving students at my college in Florida.

教，学，和分享

I can share stories about my childhood growing up in a medical foster home (my biological mother and grandmother are both foster parents) and my short time as a foster mother as well. I am also a first generation college student with a passion for learning and pushing through obstacles.
