CURRENT MISSION

To see as many countries as I can while making a difference along the way.

ABOUT ME

Currently a graduate student in Vermont studying Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation. Unfortunately, that leaves little time for other things, but I do live within a few hours of some pretty cool places (NYC, Boston, Northhampton) that I try to visit when I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today- James Dean
