CURRENT MISSION

I am studying abroad in Lancaster England from January until July trying to see and learn as much as I can about many different cultures

ABOUT ME

I am 20 years old still doing as much as I can to learn about myself.
I am a psychology major at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire.
I like adventure, humor, to be pushed, and tested!
I enjoy cooking, but more than that, I like to EAT what I cook. I like to try new things. I think having a positive attitude is always important, and I don't like superstitious people.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn about myself by learning about different cultures and people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my greatest accomplishments was going on two separate 5 week long canoe trips. The first one was in the Barons River in Canada. The second one was on the Seal River in northern Canada ending in Husdon Bay. It was very physically and mentally challenging, but thats why it is my greatest accomplishment!
