New Orleans

Summary

From living on the banks of the mighty Mississippi, to the endless ranges of the Andes Mountains, to the bountiful shores of the Mediterranean Sea, whether abroad or stateside I have always sought after immense growth and improvement of the self as well as the greater community. I have achieved many goals in my life, some through my own personal tenacity and countless others through the collective minds and efforts of many. Through the years my ambition only continues to grow, always striving to better myself and those around me.
