My life to date has been spent traveling and living in a variety of places. As a result of my recurrent mobility, I have a strong affinity for people and place. In the beginning of my academic career at The University of Kansas, I studied Journalism and quickly transitioned to Geography as a focal discipline. Things I love include: coffee, running, travel, anything outdoors, the desert landscape, staying up late, an exceptional bottle of wine and enriched conversations. Learning and trying new things is important. My goal is to ensure each day is unique and fulfilling!
