Follow messageMe in a nutshell? Hmm I don't think so. I'm the last person you will ever find in a nutshell. I may live in Minnesota, which to me generally feels like living in a nutshell that someone left in the freezer, but I've lived in five other states and seen most of our country. This history has allowed me to expand my horizons; perhaps this is why I dream big. My vision for our future is one in which cures are discovered and compassion reignited. My passion is traveling, and I hope my education will allow me to break out of my shell to explore the world and make it one worth traversing.
