About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe Diem, to soul search & re-member myself, to adventure race, to live to the ultimate!

ABOUT ME

I am an international nomad and third culture kid to the utmost extreme. I am a citizen of the world. I was born in Malaysia but moved to 7 other different countries (Singapore, South Korea, China, Australia, England, France, and US) and have been to numerous more countries. I come from a very mixed ethically diversed and cultured background (to put it, I'm a "mutt"). I graduated univ. with a double undergrad degree in Business Marketing and Business Management.

--Some words to describe me: international, culture-lover, unique, different, intelligent, focused, atheletic, laid back yet adventurous, exciting, & I'm still finding more to myself everday - so take this journey with me!

PHILOSOPHY

Living life to the fullest. No regrets.
