ABOUT ME

I am a student at Ohio University studying economics. I am curious and outgoing person who enjoys meeting new and different people. Some of my best memories involve interactions that began with complete strangers.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has something interesting to say. It's easy to forget that every single person is living an equally vivid reality. In my interactions with others, I do my best to remember that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Witnessed the breaking of the silence at the Rainbow Gathering. Thousands of people gather in a field every year on the fourth of July after being silent all day. They remain silent in this field until a parade of children comes through playing homemade instruments. As the parade passes by people, they begin to yell and rejoice. Eventually, the field erupts in a crescendo of cheers.
