CURRENT MISSION Getting the most of life as an academic in NYC. Loving life & encouraging wellbeing. ABOUT ME I enjoy cooking (vegetarian), gardening, biking, fitness of all sorts, SCUBA, reading, philosophy and music. Spend my sessile time listening to 'chillout' tunes on plug.dj. Adjusting to NYC from Southern California after being raised in South Florida. I have 5 sisters, and aim to research ways to reduce violence against women and society at large. Studying clinical psychology PHILOSOPHY We are stars guiding others, as we ourselves continually sail. Indeed, it is not an ambiguously defined afterlife which we sail towards, but the afterlife of the cosmos themselves which we live now. "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." - Sir Winston Spencer Churchill.

Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
I've seen thunderheads, from above, while flying over Texas one sun-set to evening. Coral Reefs: I grew up in Florida, an love them. Green and Blue lightning: while camping on the outer bands of Hurricane Gustav. Death, and the beginnings of life. D-M-T.
Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
I like philosophy, specifically how it may apply to the future of 'social' interaction. Could telephones attain higher sophistication to communicate than the people we may call upon them? Might I be able to create fatty muscle tissue out of my own skin cells, to one day as a vegan-friendly cannibal? Why shouldn't we genetically modify rice for greater health, mindful as we must be of unforeseen consequences? I love questions and the search for novel information!
