CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

^^^looks just like me

I am always busy, but rarely focused. I am a jack of all trades trying to find a place that fits my skill sets and interests. Currently- I believe the best use of myself is to be a city planner. This will combine my Architecture, Anthropology, Finance and Business experience and interests. I still need to find a use for my SCUBA, but that's another story completely...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyone is of equal value to society. Everyone is deserving of basic rights which include: most importantly, unconditional love and education; also healthcare, the right to marry whomever he/she loves, and believe he/she has found the truth regarding religion; everyone's a little agnostic anyways.

I am blessed to have done and seen many amazing things in my lifetime. These include, but are not limited to: The Mayan Pyramids of Tikal; The Grande Canyon; The Hoover Dam; A wedding at the Belagio in LV; SCUBA diving in the Atlantic and Pacific; Written 2 theses- one in English, one in Spanish; Completed a SCORE- approved business plan; Experimented as a Financial Rep.and Architect; Earned my BA from a top-tier university; Fallen in and out of love, without a marriage or baby involved; Witnessed the fulfillment of potential by people with Special Needs; Watched my brother and sister mature; met 5 of my great-grandparents and all grandparents; eaten turkey noodle soup made by someone born in the 1800s, the daughter of a Civil War Veteran; Heard memories of the Depression; Saw the first black President inaugurated- in person- who was elected on my birthday.

Teach, Learn, Share

After writing two theses and years of study, I discovered that some of the happiest people on earth are the poorest and some of the most unhappy people are the richest. I believe it is in direct correlation with the capacity for gratitude.
