"I exist as I am. That is enough."

I look to live my life through this lens, extending the idea of self-worth to not only myself but every individual I come in contact with. Every person has a story, and within that story is every person. I am in love with hearing about the experiences, triumphs, and challenges of the people around me. As I live out my life I hope to experience the presence of as many inspiring individuals as I can.

My greatest dream is to work in student affairs in higher education-what better place to hear the stories of others than to be in an environment that seeks to empower and understand. This semester I am the CAP Center Career Services Intern and am hopeful to learn many more ways in which I can use my strengths to help students find their passions and next adventures.

I find myself struck with wanderlust a lot of the time-always wishing to be somewhere that I am not. I collect post cards from my family and friends who travel, and dream of hopping on airplanes and trains on a whim. Spontaneity in experience is my cup of tea.
