CURRENT MISSION

to find my passion

ABOUT ME

here's my best attempt at the short and sweet version-
I am a lover... of God, nature, my family, adventure, and food.. (just to name a few)
I love meeting and getting to know new people..traveling, and learning about other cultures.
I'm open- minded, easy going, a bit of dork, and extremely indecisive!

PHILOSOPHY

I can't quite live up to it, but what I aspire to can be summed up in the Prayer of Saint Francis
