CURRENT MISSION

To live and love life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I am a 22 year old writer/nanny from Bellingham, WA. I just graduated with my BA in Creative Writing and a minor in Music from Western Washington University. Then I road tripped down south to be a nanny in Berkeley, intern for a kids' creative writing school, and do some of my own writing! Thus, I am a bay area newbie! But I love meeting new people and exploring so I'm in my element!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is one that is not fully formed, but is becoming more solid every day. I'm curious, open-minded, compassionate and generally very optimistic. I look at life with a creative eye and an undying passion for living it to the fullest!
