CURRENT MISSION

live, travel, learn, experience

ABOUT ME

I *literally* just finished my masters degree in Natural Resources at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA. Now, my plan to is apply to any job that I'm remotely qualified for and hope for the best!

I love learning new things from anyone who has something to offer, whether it's a concrete skill like fire breathing and howling at the moon or just a new way of thinking about something. I love people who give me new ways of looking at the world. I like to think of life as a series of experiences that are meant to be *really* lived, so that's what I'm trying to do- live every moment to its fullest!

I love being outdoors- camping, hiking, skiing, rock climbing, or just being in nature. I love the smell of campfire smoke, swinging in a hammock, swimming in rivers.

I am the mother of an amazingly smart 6 year old girl who loves to read, travel to new places, have fun, and be silly just as much as her mom, thankfully! I am a lover of all kinds of foods, and I'll try *almost* anything twice. I love to bake. I enjoy learning new words. I am also into Krav Maga, which is the official self defense system used by the Israeli Defense Force.

PHILOSOPHY

"What is not started today is never finished tomorrow".

I believe in: The golden rule. Karma. Speaking your mind. Looking people in the eyes.
