Hobbies
I was in Acting school for a year but found myself wanting a broader educational focus. I live in the environmentally-friendly dorm, and am passionate about gardening and animal welfare, as well as volunteering in general. I love outdoor sports, like whitewater rafting, rock climbing, surfing and skateboarding. My future goals include a lot of traveling, artistic exploration, and social betterment. I also currently am thinking I would like opportunities to write in some capacity. I get along with all different personality types and tend not to take myself too seriously, although it does not diminish my commitments to remain driven and focused on my intentions. I also have more recreational interests in fashion and in photography and roller coasters. My favorite movies include Amelie, The Royal Tenenbaums, WallE, and Fly Away Home.
