CURRENT MISSION

¡Revolución!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Toronto, have travelled throughout Eastern Europe, England, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru and lived for several months last year in Ramallah, in the West Bank. I studied history at McGill and plan to eventually make my way into academia.

PHILOSOPHY

Pro-choice, pro-direct democracy, pro-public healthcare and education, pro-international law, pro-crastination.
