CURRENT MISSION

to live with compassion and verve

ABOUT ME

I am a 20 year-old girl living in Scottsville, Virginia. I work at a coffeeshop and a farm-to-table restaurant and although I really love my community I love to travel, especially to destinations where I can hike and escape civilization for a while.

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.
