Hi. I am a freshman at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, CO, and I hope to major in creative writing. I enjoy hiking, climbing, skiing, and running, and just about every activity outdoors in the mountains. This past summer, I backpacked just under 1,000 miles from south-central California to Ashland, Oregon on the Pacific Crest Trail, and this coming summer I plan to thru-hike the whole 2,650-mile trail from Mexico to Canada. I live an active lifestyle and love to travel.
I am politically liberal and am not religious.
