About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life with no regrets, and to have a positive impact on the people in my life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20-year-old college student, third culture kid, extroverted introvert, and adventurer. This summer, I'm working in Seattle but I go to school in the Bay Area and grew up in Singapore, Iowa, Boston, Switzerland, Germany, and LA. I love making new friends and new experiences. When it comes to travel, I'm pretty flexible.
