CURRENT MISSION

Really Living

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Illinois and that's where I studied, but I'm ready to call it my former home. My temporary home right now is Jacksonville, Illinois! I love jogging and doing things outdoors.
I'm ready to meet new people, improve my German, and always gain a better global perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life for me while being conscious of how it affects the people around me and try to make that a positive impact.
