About Me

I am a recent graduate of Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri and a native to the rolling country hills of Eastern Kansas. You may know, or be interested in knowing, that I have been in Tanzania once before during the summer of 2012, as part of a service-learning program.  I lived with a host-family, learned how to make chapati (a thick, tortilla-like bread) and loved the experience enough to accept the call when JVC invited me to return.

This blog is meant to serve as a means to communicate with those of you who want to accompany me on this journey and stay in touch with me while I am in Tanzania for two years.  I will probably write about the insights I gain as a Jesuit Volunteer, the lessons I learn from the people of Tanzania, the funny mistakes I make as I try to learn and speak Swahili, and whatever other musings on life in Tanzania that I think you may be interested in hearing about.


Thanks for stopping by! Check back again soon, and feel free to contact me!

Fall in Love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.
