Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, I'm an international masters student interested in climate change, social justice, and political economy. In my spare time I like to play basketball, read non-fiction, and have deep conversations with friends about international affairs and creating a sustainable, just future world.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I spent four months in 2015 studying sociology and international development in Cameroon... lived with four host families, including a polygamous household with 12 kids, and managed to come down with typhoid AND malaria at the same time while I was there!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm happy to swap travel stories and discuss current events and politics (Yes, even American politics... don't worry, I didn't vote for Trump!!). I can be somewhat introverted, but I enjoy meeting new people and learning about new places.
