Climbing/Personal Outdoor Trips The Nose of El Capitan in Yosemite is almost a right of passage for a climber, so that has always been a goal of mine. I also want to start taking longer backpacking trips, hoping to take a month long trip through the Sierra one day.
Trips to Lead I hope to lead more backpacking trips, a Havasu Falls trip, and one day get my Single Pitch Instructor certification to lead climbing
trips.
Personal Travels I want to take a year off at some point, pack up a van and visit every national park in the US. Internationally, I hope to return to South America - see Patagonia, the Amazon, Machu Picchu, as well as spend time in the cities of Peru, Chile, Colombia and Brazil. I also want
to travel to New Zealand.
My Life in 5/10/15/20 Years I plan to be working with an organization that supports causes that I am passionate about. At the moment, I see myself working in international economic development or environmental stewardship. I also hope to attend graduate school.

To USD Administrators/Faculty I really love USD because of its small size and the leadership opportunities that that allows for students. For me, the places on campus where I have grown have been in my leadership roles (OA, the Climbing Team, Torero Dance Marathon).
