CURRENT MISSION

See the world and learn from it's people.

ABOUT ME

I love Uganda, Theatre, Dance, and chewing taffy. I work by day in a Portland startup scene and by night as a professional actor. I want to visit the world. I don't smoke. I love whiskey and drink it neat or accompanied by a hard cider. I have a insatiable sweet tooth and love all dogs. I get lost in books and love to hike or hammock. I am an optimistic INFJ introvert, and very happy about it.

PHILOSOPHY

"we are the mirror as well as the face in it. we are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. we are the pain and what causes the pain, both. we are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours." -Rumi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in an orphanage in southern Uganda where I became "Big Sister" to over 140 abandoned children. Their matron still calls me to give me their reports.

Teach, Learn, Share

While living in Africa I learned more that can be taught in words, but mostly that life is precious and the lives that surround you will affect you in some manner. It is up to you to decide if that is a positive or negative affection.
