About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore new places and grow good food

ABOUT ME

I used to dream of going to an Ivy League school and becoming a high-powered lawyer. Now I dream of becoming a farmer. Yep.

I adore reading, dancing, traveling, speaking Spanish, and eating good food.

I laugh a lot and make snarky jokes.

Crazy things tend to happen to me in what should be normal, everyday situations.

PHILOSOPHY

When I die, I want my biography to be one kickass read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cliff jumped next to the largest waterfall in Honduras. It was beautiful, freeing, and a pretty good adrenaline rush. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I know something about sustainable agriculture and food. I could teach you to cook weird vegetables!

If you speak Spanish (natively or just learning), I would love to share the language with you. I'm not completely fluent, but I can sustain a conversation. :)

I want to learn everything! I'm so hungry for knowledge. Or maybe dinner. My stomach is really rumbling...
