My love of adventure, art, and culture has drawn me to fall in love with creating things from a very young age, and continues to inspire me now. Growing up on Cape Cod, I was consistently inspired by the world around me- from the beaches I swam at each day to the marshlands by my house, I found a deep passion in creating art based on the natural world from a young age.
Most recently, I have spent my last few years living in Flekke, Norway, as I attended an international school that represented over 90 countries around the globe. The immersion in a completely different environment was a huge motivation to me to continue to pursue using my art as a driving force for change, as well as taught me the value and beauty in getting to know the people and places I was surrounded by. During my time in Norway, I worked with members of the Norwegian government to help develop sustainable practices in schools around my county, as well as advocated against the unsustainable Norwegian oil exportation. I also underwent an extreme outdoor survival course, and am Red Cross Certified throughout the EEA.
I hope my adventures do not come to an end anytime soon- I look forward to continuing my time here at St. Andrews as I study International Relations and continue to immerse myself in the beauty of this town. I look forward to sharing my experiences and passions with the readers of Her Campus, and I hope you all enjoy reading about them just as much as I love to write them.
