CURRENT MISSION You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ABOUT ME I graduated from UC Berkeley in Dec 2009 after returning from a study abroad program in Moorea, French Polynesia. After graduation, I worked as an Executive Team Leader for Target but after realizing that this job wasn't for me, I quit and moved to NYC in June to pursue teaching through an organization called Teach for America! Starting this fall, I will be teaching 7th grade science in the Bronx! PHILOSOPHY This is my favorite quote: To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
