CURRENT MISSION

To throw the perfect dinner party and learn to do a headstand.

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly person who enjoys sharing good food and sips with new and old friends. I studied political science and international studies in the US, interspersed with some language study abroad in Paris, Beijing, and Copenhagen. After a couple years working in China law and development, I am now back in the US to study law and I hope to pursue a career in social justice.

PHILOSOPHY

Every door closed means another door opens, and every day brings another opportunity to eat something delicious.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Not sure if it's the best, but bungee-jumping in China was pretty memorable.
