 
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved" is a quote I live by. I’m someone who loves to learn and be immersed in experiences--- new foods and old cultures. My current hobby is swimming and next up is surfing! I can’t imagine my life without travel; it’s like a palate cleanser and gives me the opportunity for adventure and exploration. Next on my list is Vietnam and Cambodia to see ancient temples and hike through the Sapa Valley. After that: Iceland to see the Northern Lights. On my days off I prioritize time with my family & friends and experiences—new food, the theater, or looking for good sci-fi.
