I started traveling internationally at a young age with my family.  I was living in the far east for years in my young life so I couldn’t rely on what I felt was correct to be right.  I had to start not only understanding the rationalization of the choices of other cultures, but really comprehending those other mindsets.  A lot of the time I would just observe people in my travels to see why they did something or why they didn’t.  We also traveled all across the far east for various reasons but usually so I could experience and learn to understand that people were different yet one in the e same.  I also traveled across the more “westernized” locales like Europe and across the US and I started seeing a uniqueness across cultures.  There was no bar and no standard.  People were different with unique ideologies and there’s no standard to justify one over the other.  Since that experience I have continued my travels and have expanded my destinations to other areas in Europe, Africa and South America with having family from both of the latter.  I have been to 6 of the 7 continents and am set on finishing that list to understand the demographic down there too. That curiosity still continues today. and I still welcome any chance I get to see what and who else is out there. 

I take yearly kayaking trips to either Michigan or Alaska because I enjoy experiencing something different.  I have and still volunteer frequently.

 All of the experiences mentioned above are calling me to this field and I’m here to put my best foot forward!
