CURRENT MISSION

Completing a dual masters degree in public health and journalism at UC Berkeley.

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer who lived in New York City for 6 years, and San Francisco for the past 5 years. Eager to travel, and meet cool new people.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy stems from a french art/political revolutionary group from the 1940s. It also comes from Existentialism, and most poetry and rock and roll music. I believe, in the words of Jimi Hendrix,

"When the Power of Love, overcomes the Love of Power, the world will know peace."
