More life:
I'm a first-generation college student, lifelong creative, and lover of coconut yogurt. Growing up, my parents always emphasized that experiences were greater than things! This has been one of the best gifts in my life, and anyone who knows me knows how much I love to approach life by living out meaningful and memorable stories.
Thus, I love anything that connects me with people over shared profound experiences — most especially, enjoying nature together, traveling, cooking, and just letting out our inner child.
I'm proud of my excellent listening skills, growth mindset, emotional intelligence, and disciplined consistency towards my work and life goals!
Me and my radio co-host, Eiha, frolicking in a field in upper New Hampshire last spring, just before finals season!
I made a lobster dinner — wait, look closer, it's just strawberries! I get creative wherever I possibly can.
I'm an avid museum-goer. Here's me at the famous "Your rainbow panorama" at ARoS Museum, in Aarhus, Denmark.
I'm a scrappy traveler and the mom-friend when it comes to trips with my peers. Here's me on the move in Lyon!
I love the outdoors. Here's me paddling down the Connecticut River, but I love hiking and long walks and bike rides.
I'm embarrassingly loud about showing support, from celebrating friend's successes to my school's football team.
Found the most incredible backpacker's hostel in Cotopaxi, complete with a 17-year-old dog to hang out with!
Dartmouth is a quirky place and I love it. Pictured here, I led a First-Year Trip for the Dartmouth Outing Club.
Captured shortly before we sat down by the Seine and tore into a $1 baguette for dinner.
When I found out Dartmouth was hosting Danish exchange students, I reached out immediately to adopt them as friends!
My mom and I love cooking. When she first came to the States, she couldn't boil water. Look at us now!
My mom is a huge source of inspiration for me. She keeps her inner child alive through her playful curiosity and humor.
While studying abroad, I went with a group of strangers to Lisbon. Now I have lifelong memories with them. Crazy.
Working weekends at a Vermont farm specializing in peppers that end up in the Hot Ones sauces! Here's the farm dog.
