My first solo adventure! From two months I traveled through the countries of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. I became submerged in a culture outside of my own and fell in love with exploring diversity.

Our team returned to Placencia Belize to run day camps for children. This time I took a leadership role and helped organize and ensure we had proper supplies each day and that things ran smoothly.

First day of college! I was enrolled in pre-optometry but made last minute switch into education. I loved children and loved helping people, I knew this was the right choice.

I travelled to Europe for 2 months and visited the countries of Ireland, Spain, Greece, Slovakia and Czech.
