About Me

Then, in grad school, I had to write monthly letters to my advisors. I realized that almost every month, I shared a story of somewhere new I'd traveled in that time. 

Maybe I seldom got on a plane that wasn't headed to see my family in my hometown, but I realized the definition of "traveling" doesn't have to involve passport stamps and foreign languages (although I try to collect those too!). It's also seeing my region, my state, even my neighborhood, and exploring new places, learning new things, appreciating the past and shaping the future. 

So as often as I can, I lug my family and friends and stuff across the country and around the world.
