About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My life's mission is to create positive change in the world. My current travel mission is to find this lake I've wanted to swim in for the past 6 years that is somewhere on the south island of New Zealand.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun loving woman interested in personal growth and leadership. I am looking for adventure and friends and to expand my horizons. I am interested in the ways corporations can act responsibly to positively impact their environments. I have worked in nonprofit development for various AIDS Service Organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area and was recently working in San Diego for the Epilepsy Foundation. I am interested in beauty, politics, and thought provoking discussion.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that I can create whatever I want in life by the power of positive thought and clear intention. I believe that every living thing (animal and plant) on this planet is connected and affects everything else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I climbed a 40 foot telephone poll.
I've also participated in a protest that shut down Market Street in San Francisco (the major street in the most major city around here).
Lots of people do it, but I went black water rafting in Waitomo, New Zealand. This was super amazing for me and certainly pushed my limits.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about US politics, the history of the corporation, nonprofit development, and probably other things that you wanna know. I want to work on my Spanish skills. I would like to share life with the beautiful people all over the world.
