About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience everything I can. Live life. Meet people. Inspire others. Go crazy.

ABOUT ME

I have grown up all around the world, and am currently a lawyer in Wellington, New Zealand, for the next few years. I love to travel, in 2012 I did a 3 month trip through South East Asia, England, Spain, Tanzania and parts of the States before settling down in San Diego for a semester abroad. I am outgoing, friendly, and love meeting new people, eating new foods and seeing new things. I love to run, last year I did 5 half marathons and my first full, and am about to tackle my second full marathon.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everything happens for a reason. I would never change anything in my past, even if I regret it, because it made me who I am today.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunset in Halong Bay - most beautiful sunset of my life.

I went on a safari in Tanzania this year...I will never forget the first time I saw a zebra out in the wild. It was far away and hiding behind a tree, but it was awesome.

Skiing in Chamonix.

Walking the streets of Paris in the rain, eating crepes
