CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Myers-Briggs says I'm an ENFP, which basically means I'm an optimistic, encouraging, eclectic, artistic dreamer. I'm driven by experience and a desire to learn, learn, learn. I see the world around me and want to peel away the layers to understand how it really ticks. I love meeting new people of all backgrounds and origins and am known for having in-depth conversations with complete strangers. Growing up on a farm and now living in a city, I have a broad range of economic, social, political and cultural understanding. Change, challenge, and education are vitamins to my soul!

PHILOSOPHY

The golden rule - do onto others as you would have done onto you. Pretty simple concept :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My skydiving experience was exhilarating. I've also white water rafted in Colorado, which was a jolt to the senses as well. I was bitten by a fish while snorkeling in Hawaii...funny story. I like to rock climb regularly, which not only challenges my fear of heights, but is an amazing mental and physical exercise.

Countries I’ve Visited

England, France, Japan, Spain, United Arab Emirates
