I will primarily be one of the photographers for the Media Lab so let me know if you’ve found any majestic photo op spots!

I love to stay active and explore the outdoors, cook lots of yummies, hangout with animals (especially horses), do artsy things, meditate, etc…I am also working on building out my own business for integrative plant based lifestyle solutions with a one-on-one consulting model.

As an English major and a classics minor, I can’t wait to combine my love of writing with the not only the rich history, but also the vibrant present of Athens. I plan to spend probably too much time looking for places to go running and rollerskating here, as well as seeing, eating, and trying every new thing that I can.”
