CURRENT MISSION

To build empathy and awareness while humbly learning about all the world's most wonderful, awe inspiring even painful reminders of humanity's downfall to show where we can nurture, love and repair.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, hiking, doing all around new things, learning, sleeping, meeting new people, learning new languages and cultures and a big time foodie.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and love like you'll die tomorrow. Thinking is necessary but typically linear; feelings are seldom understood yet potentially all-encompassing and powerful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a full marathon, scuba diving in the Keys, volunteered at the animal shelter for 6 months and fostered way too many dogs and cats during that time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been a bartender in urban beach cities for a cumulative of 3 years. I love to dance - bachata, cumbia, merengue, Puerto Rican salsa, ranchera...been doing so for 10 years. Cooking and concocting libations to bring harmony, people together and to promote health/healing from multi-ethnic cuisines. And I learned how to wiggle my ears since I was 15.
