About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To let go of the things that hold me back, remember those that make me strong, and become the woman I have the potential to be.

ABOUT ME

I am currently an AmeriCorps member at a clinic in North Minneapolis- the most impoverished area in the Twin Cities metro. I am also applying to schools of public health and hope to one day work as a policy adviser/advocate for a humanitarian aid organization, such as the MSF Access Project.

I'm also the kind of person who loves snuggling up with a cup of coffee or tea and a good book. My idea of going out is doing pub trivia at a local bar, getting ice cream, or taking a walk around one of the many lakes in the Cities.

PHILOSOPHY

The more I give myself permission to live in the moment and enjoy it without feeling guilty or judgmental about any other time, the better I feel about the quality of my work.- Wayne Dyer

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have made myself a full and happy life out of very little. I think that's amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: cooking, tips for living well while remaining frugal, staying warm when you're outside all day in sub-zero weather, swimming

Learn: anything! Currently, I'm working on learning more about bike maintenance. Also, I'm hoping to brush up on my French and Hindi.
