CURRENT MISSION

I'm traveling the world for a year as a Watson Fellow! My project is to study crafts and women's craft organizations. On the way I'm hoping to hike, play ultimate frisbee, draw, make friends, and have all kinds of spontaneous adventures.

ABOUT ME

I am a Midwestern girl with an adventurous spirit. My favorite animal is the American buffalo. I'm trying to break my crippling addiction to peanut butter.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play hard. Live every day joyfully. Embrace serendipity.
