CURRENT MISSION

To learn about me and my world through learning about you and yours.

ABOUT ME

After receiving my degree from the uni of minneapolis in english literature & french I taught english in France...returned stateside for an amazing summer with friends in Minneapolis, moved to Montreal where I studied translation at McGill, after an amazing year I moved back to the states. Now I live in New York City (yay Big Apple)! This city is a dream, more importantly, the people here are among the best I've ever met!

PHILOSOPHY

To remain true to myself and my beliefs whist continuing to challenge them...at least that's what I think it is for now. Recent graduate, off into the world to try and create a community for myself and those like me: curious, creative, liberal, boundless, restless, etc etc amen.
