I am a part-time graduate student at George Washington University earning my master's degree in organizational management. I also work full-time at GW in the Chemistry Department. A course I am taking this summer, Global Corporate Responsibility, is taking me to Brussels, Belgium for 8 days! I have ridden the Maid of the Mist more times than I care to count, seen the wonders of Tulum, partied in Cancun, snorkeled off the shore of Mazatlan. Studying abroad in Italy was gluttonous--Carnevale in Venice, skiing The Alps, hiking Cinque Terre, touring the vineyards of Tuscany while being immersed in the romantic language and culture was surreal. I have been a tourist on the double-decker bus in London. I have waded in the waters of The Aegean Sea--Rhodos, Greece is a slice of heaven. Israel challenged me to climbing Masada before day break to see the sunrise, experiencing the extreme saltiness of the Dead Sea as I effortlessly floated on her waters, trekking through the desert on camelback, repelling down her magnificent cliffs, enduring a night in the Negev, and embracing my heritage. The simple things in life have the greatest impact on me. In addition to traveling, I enjoy the beach, reading, cooking, sushi, volunteering---pretty much anything that involves learning while surrounded by my friends and family.
