I am involved in speech and debate (I compete in Impromptu and Extemporaneous speaking), Model United Nations, tennis, swim team, and theater. Through these activities I have developed an interest in international relations and policies, as well as a somewhat strange love of public speaking. Although I am laid back in several aspects of my personality, I still like to have things done on time, and like to live an efficient lifestyle. I am a girl who loves nature, music, reading, and learning new things every day. In the AYLP Thailand program, I am most excited for meeting new people and experiencing an entirely new culture.
