CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as possible!

ABOUT ME

I currently live in São Paulo, Brazil. I fell in love with the country during my Fulbright there, and decided to stay!

I have an insatiable curiosity for just about anything, especially art.

I'm an intellectual at heart, and, though I also love to go out and have a good time. I have worked at a fine arts gallery for the past four years and have learned much about gallery design, etc. Through my job, I have been fortunate enough to meet a number of gallery directors, artists, musicians, and diplomats.

I am always trying to see the world through someone else's eyes or through someone else's playlist.

PHILOSOPHY

There was a thought I came across in my studies saying that long ago the world was broken, and that it is our job to put the pieces back together. Whether it be through a smile, through service, through a conversation, or through some means by which I haven't yet discovered, that's what I'm trying to do.
