ABOUT ME
I recently graduated from the University of Central Florida in Orlando with my degree in Psychology. Now I am a Master's student in Criminology at FSU. I love having company, traveling, and meeting new people. I'm easy going, open minded, and moderately witty. I'm always late and I hate talking on the phone. My trip to Israel changed my life and honesty is the most important thing to me.
PHILOSOPHY
I try to live my life in the moment. It's nice to look back at your past experiences and everything. After all, you wouldn't be where you are at this very moment had it not been for what you see when you look over your shoulder. But we can't go back and redo or re-experience. I'd rather just do what I can right now to expand my mind, share, learn, and grow. You can't fulfill your dreams unless you dare to risk it all. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My most life changing experience was during my trip in Israel. I was out in the middle of the Negev Desert near a Bedoiun tent. I stared up at the stars as my tour guide spoke about how tiny we were compared to the never ending abyss that is space. I saw a shooting star. Something I have never seen before. It may seem like an insignificant occurrence, but it literally changed my life. I don't know what it was, but I got this strong sense that there was a superior being that wanted me there at that moment, that wanted me to know they existed, and that I had a significant reason for my existence.
