I'm working on some awesome projects in medicine, women's rights, and general nonprofits. My background is all over the place, and I look to contribute to society in positive ways. I have a lot of stories to tell, love discussions about solving the world's problems and enjoy doing so after preparing an excellent meal.

My Interests
I love the sciences (Physics/Math/Bio/Med/Chem/etc.). I have worked with homeless populations in a number of major US cities. I worked on preventing child abductions. I coordinate with counterparts at the UN predominantly on issues pertaining to women's rights, but more recently on general medical and nutritional approaches to healthcare. I work in robotics, like 3D printing, helped start [Freespace], and generally keep busy with awesome things.
