CURRENT MISSION

to get to know a new place and save money while doing it!!

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Columbus, OH but I will be moving in a couple of months to start grad school. Although I'm not completely sure where I'll be in the fall, there's a good chance it'll be Virginia. I enjoy getting to know new people, while maintaining and strengthening old relationships. I am a big fan of traveling and getting to know new places and cultures. I spent a summer in Dublin, Ireland and was able to explore several countries in Europe. I will be heading to Tokyo, Japan in a couple of weeks and am PUMPED.

PHILOSOPHY

where you end up isn’t the most important thing. it’s the road you take to get there. the road you take is what you’ll look back on and call your life.

be kind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen a WWII jet recovered from its crash landing in northern France over 60 years ago, and was honored to be invited to the town's celebretory feast. I've shook the hand of a Heisman Trophy winner and met dozens others. I've run on the beach in Dublin and seen Bono's mansion. I've sat in a press conference with John Macenro, Pete Sampris, and Andre Agassi, some of the best tennis players of all time.

Most of all, I am blessed to be surrounded by some of the greatest people in the world and am very thankful for it!

Teach, Learn, Share

be EXCITED about life and open to sharing it with others!
