CURRENT MISSION

I am currently enjoying the world around me, and I am looking foward to meeting new people!

ABOUT ME

This may sound cheezy, but I'm a person who really really loves life. I love it. There are just so many things to experience and do, and I can't wait to experience and do as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I was relaxing in the grass listening to music one fine summer day thinking, "How nice it would be if I could chill like this all the time." I think this experience really highlights my life philosophy. I know that life can get hectic and stressful, but I am a firm believer in the importance of rest, relaxation, and taking time for yourself.

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing that I love about CS is the fact that site provides ample opportunities for cultural exchange. I really encourage people to take advantage of that aspect of CS because it is truly rewarding!
