CURRENT MISSION

To live up to my full potential

ABOUT ME

I love the outdoors! Hiking and Camping are always things I'm up for. I like to sing, but only in front of people I know. I enjoy Van Gogh paintings, poetry, and good books. I LOVE music and dancing! I would say I'm pretty well-rounded and open-minded.I moved to Portland, OR from Phoenix, AZ in May 2011, and I love the PNW!!! I moved to Seattle, WA in December 2012. I moved to Europe in 2015, and wish I was still there.

***I moved back to the USA (hopefully temporarily) in September 2018.

PHILOSOPHY

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not." ~The Lorax

In other words, don't wait for things to happen, be a part of the change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in England for a summer and I am an Anglophiliac as a result.I have survived pneumonia ten times!
