CURRENT MISSION

Save the world. Too much? Probably. More realistically I want to study collaboration and try and find ways to get people to share and work together more, and realise how awesome that can be.

ABOUT ME

Ok so. Let's try and keep this short and simple. I like people. I like a lots of things really. I'm generally a very happy person. I'm idealistic but also pragmatic. I love to talk about many different things. I'm very curious. I question things, a lot. I love my friends and am very loyal. I'm a great listener. I love shitty TV shows. I love animals. I hate close-minded people. I love to cook. Oh, and I'm really into sustainability and social issues.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a tough one, as there are different philosophies that motivate different facets of my life.
1. openness (to things or people that are new and different)
2. liberal (politically and socially)
3. honesty and being genuine (with respect of my friends and to myself)
4. passion, drive and hard work (with respect to my studies and career)
5. always questioning (in respect of everything - I don't like taking things for granted or just accepting something because someone told me - I question what I believe and do all the time and seek to find rational and open answers to those questions. I question the way society works and try and find solutions to problems I see)
6. empathy (in respect of any relationship or encounter - be nice and put yourself in the shoes of others. be understanding always)
