About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Today is the greatest day I've ever known

ABOUT ME

At this point in my life I'm in a constant state of discovery and flux. I'm a student of the social sciences, and am particularly interested in social and cultural anthropology. I am an active participant in my community, service learning, and student activism. I guess I'm still an idyllic person; I believe music has the power to connect all of humanity in a beautiful way. My life has a general direction, but I'm still figuring out what I'm best suited for. I like try to retain some unpredictability while trying to be a responsible college adult.

PHILOSOPHY

Constant, balanced evolution.

Interests

Live music, travel, community involvement, activism, local bars, thrifting, fitness, and a life spent learning.

I think I most enjoy listening to and becoming apart of someone's life, even if for a moment.
