CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel around the world and connect with as many people and cultures as possible. I also plan on getting my masters in Human Services and changing the world.

ABOUT ME

I have a love for life that I wish everyone shared. I love to spend time with friends, go on adventures including hiking, biking, swimming, floating down the river, climbing trees, road trips, and travel. I also love spending time with children, as I work with babies and I volunteer with toddlers. I enjoy educating myself by learning in school, and through experience. I believe that it is incredibly important to spend time bettering yourself as a person, as I see no reason not to try to live up to my potential each and everyday. I enjoy nothing more than meeting new people and learning about their life experiences because there is so much value in peoples differences.

PHILOSOPHY

-an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
-BE THE CHANGE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
