about

my name is hayley.  i'm a college student living on the east coast, far away from my home in oklahoma.  the great outdoors, strong coffee, and smiles inspire me.  this is why i have coffee at least twice a day, and why i sometimes smile at random people.  my passion lies in working with the environment.  greatest challenge for me right now? finding a career that impacts the world around me, without the nine-to-five constraint that sucks the life out of all working adults.  a challenge for sure.







my name is emily. i'm a third culture kid: originally chinese, adopted by american parents, grew up in nigeria, and graduated from a swiss boarding school. i hope that one day i can travel the world to provide clean drinking water. hobbies include photography, reading, and just chillaxing with my friends. my greatest challenge at the moment? trying to eat healthy when all i really want to eat is a greasy pepperoni pizza.

my name is lauren, and to quote hayley, i am a "green frog obsessed with sparkling water" which guess sums me up pretty well. green is most definitely my favorite color and i love to coordinate my outfits in perfectly-matching combinations to make the color pop. i also am an amphibian--i love everything water-related, so yes, i do love sparking water, but i also love to swim, run triathlons, scuba dive and sail. what her description neglected was that i love to travel and have loving host families in spain, france, and colombia. my biggest challenge? making time for all the things that make me happy and still leaving time for sleep… i guess that's what coffee is for.
