CURRENT MISSION

To listen to all the world has to say, and contribute what I can to the conversation.

ABOUT ME

There are few things I enjoy more than learning, be it through academia, new cultures, or the lives of others. Very easy going, I always keep an open mind and a wide eye. I am perfectly at home sight seeing, dancing with a crowd, or sitting at home in deep conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

"You cannot fly without wings, you cannot grow without roots, and you cannot both fly and grow without changing the world." - Yale Y. Clern

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done in my life so far is spending two weeks backpacking in the wilderness outback of New Mexico. There are very few things that can impact your life so drastically as the sight of so many stars at once.

Teach, Learn, Share

As far as "Teach, Learn, Share," goes, I'm definitely in the learn phase. Once I have sufficient experience, I will share what I have discovered, and until then I will try to teach others to do the same.
