I’m a lifelong learner living in Hawaii. My intent is to offer you value through inspiring you to ask more questions, be more curious, and make meaning of life through stories.
I share findings from my adventures as a student of life through curating content that I learn through writing, reading, listening, and watching while on my journey to becoming a lifelong learner. The reason I am sharing is to challenge myself to think in different ways, facilitate learning, and inspire ideas for you. I promise to consistently strive to be better than I was before.
Each week, in my Letters from a learn-it-all, I include what I have learned through writing a reflection, a quote to think about, and a question to ponder.

A bit more about me
I grew up swimming and sailing in Michigan and then traveling because of them. This has instilled my work ethic and helped me define leadership. I love the excitement associated withsailingand never knowing what to expect. I love the water-- whether it be walking alongside, swimming in it, or in a boat on top of it.
I graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in May of 2018. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in finance with a minor in management and leadership along with a concentration in Dutch culture. I was steered towards this challenging degree logically because numbers made the most sense to me and its job security.
After graduating from college, I started my own learning journey. I became curious about everything that I never learned in school. I realized that I needed to stop making assumptions and ask more questions. I discovered what it means to think in a growth mindset. I began to seek out developing myself over time by doing things that would stretch me.
