CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am serious, silly, sarcastic, contemplative.

I love creativity and artsy things, primarily writing but also acting and singing.

There's a lot to learn about the world, and the more I can understand from those who have different perspectives, the better.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about learning and growing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving for my 18th birthday. I would love to do it again.

Teach, Learn, Share

Literature! Writing. I have lots of information that has gathered in my brain, from the likelihood of bananas becoming extinct to LGBT and women's rights to animal behavior (dolphins are not the sweet, innocent animals they seem) .
