What does your perfect day look like?

Waking up with the sun, enjoying coffee on the patio, avocado toast, and spending time with friends, family, and of course my cat, Kygo.

Who is your inspiration/ role model? Why?

My sister, Ashley. She is my best friend, inspiration, and role model. She encourages me in every aspect of life even when it pushes me out of my comfort zone.  She constantly has the effect on not only me but everyone she encounters, to live a purposeful and happy life.

I hope to live my life with pure grace, elegance, and wisdom as she does every day.

What would you tell your 20-year-old self?

I would tell 20-year-old me that everything always works out. Don’t be afraid to make the decision to take a year off to travel after graduation because it was the best thing you ever did.  

What has been your greatest adventure?

My greatest adventure has to be my time spent in Nepal. Specifically in the Himalayan Mountains providing sustainable dental and medical care to a small village.

What words do you live by?

Love life and stay humble.
