About Me
CURRENT MISSION
expand my boundries!
ABOUT ME
I was born in Lisbon, Portugal and moved to Adelaide, Australia when I was 2 years old, so I'm pretty Australian -_^ Always enjoyed learning and have spent a great deal of time at universities, persuing degrees in science (genetics) and more recently pharmacy.
I've been producing dark electronic music for over 6 years after figuring out that having a drum kit in an apartment building wasn't working out very well for my neighbours :)
I've worked at one point or another as a baker, dj, mc, host, function entertainer, musician, paper boy, waiter, barman, glassie, entertainment promoter, pharmacist, math/english/biology tutor, research assistant, elderly caretaker, comic shop assistant, collectible stocker, election official and medium business executive!
I'm a registered pharmacist in Australia and am extremely interested in getting experience in foreign aid initiatives, my goal is to build or work within an organisation whose primary focus is the ethical distribution of essential pharmaceutical aid to developing countries and regions.
I'd love to be an apairist (bee keeper) one day, continue to expand my snowboarding experience, perform live to a large crowd and build my own pharmaceutical distribution company!
PHILOSOPHY
I enjoy learning new things and pushing myself to experience new things, especially when they might seem a bit scary at the time -_^ travelling is the best way i've found to learn, expand and grow ever more confident in who I am and my own abilities as a human being.
this knowledge and personal strength is something that i want to build in order to better serve others. i've always been drawn to health services and caring, and my deepest desire is to be able to make a contribution to others in less fourtunate postions than my own.
