I am as bubbly as a 5 year old, as driven as a 35 year old, and as stubborn as a 65 year old. All in a 20 something 'excited to be alive' mindset.

My friends would say I'm crazy, loyal, and loving. I absolutely love getting to know people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I finished college in four years, paid off all debt, and landed my dream job three months after I graduated.

That sounds pretty amazing to me.

Among other things like skydiving in Madrid, cliff jumping in Switzerland, swimming with dolphins, petting a manatee, playing with a bunch of monkeys, sand dune buggy riding, rock climbing and finding a freaken awesome cat on craigslist.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I could teach something to a person I've just met, it would be to be positive, optimistic, hopeful, and determined to make the life you want to live happen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a love for life and adventure that is contagious.
