About Me

Hi! I am currently traveling Europe as a writer, marketer, and videographer. I grew up in the US in Ohio, and I’ve recently lived and worked in Australia for 3 years. Now I am out and about meeting people, seeing sights, and doing what I love!

I enjoy hiking, walking, being outdoors, swimming, writing, poetry, journaling, going to see performances, telling stories, listening to other people share their stories, learning languages (I am mostly fluent in German), cooking, eating, watching movies, playing board games, working with children, and creating community events like Poetry Nights.

I look forward to meeting you and getting to know one another!

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz music, hip hop, R and B, rock, and pretty much anything.

I love foreign films like Amelie, Midsommar, Blue is the Warmest Color and Das Leben Der Anderen. I love Studio Ghibli films like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo and Princess Mononoke. I will watch anything. As for books, I have been an avid reader all my life and especially I enjoy sci fi and fantasy!! I recommend everyone to read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It will be the best book you've read this year; I promise you.
