CURRENT MISSION

live and learn

ABOUT ME

I love to learn and enjoy all of life's miracles, from music and language to waterfalls and tasty food. I love to laugh and be silly, take long walks, make music with friends, drink wine and tell stories, question authority, get my hands dirty, listen to the sound of the ocean, play theater games, participate in protests, make new friends, create art, and cuddle.

I love volunteering with kids! Nothing makes me happier than spending time with children. They just light me up!

My mission is to travel and learn more about how to use the arts to empower youth throughout the world to engage in the global revolution for social and environmental justice!

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that we must be the change we wish to see in the world (Ghandi). I live my life with the intent of making a positive impact on the lives of those I encounter, learning from each and every experience, living in awe of life's miracles, and giving all the praise to God/Allah/Dios/Goddess/The Divine/The Universe/whatever you want to call that great spiritual force that connects us all. I believe that we must all take up our responsibility to contribute to this planet our own unique and special gifts. And have fun doing it!

Life is too short to be cruel or filled with hate. I believe in the power of love to transform our world.

Diversity is strength.

Laughter is the best medicine.

Always uplift someone else higher than yourself.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I am incredibly grateful for the amazing experiences I have been blessed to have during my time on this Earth. Life is beautiful!

I volunteered in the Massai Mara region of Kenya, Africa with indigenous youth when I was just 16 years old. This trip changed my life and helped shape me as a person and evolving young adult. I would not be who I am today if it were not for this experience.

I took an early morning boat ride on the Ganges River in India during the morning puja (prayer), watching the sun rise through the mist exposing the ancient buildings of Varanasi.

I hiked up Lion's Head in South Africa to the highest tip of the mountain. I could turn 360 degrees and see all of Cape Town. It was so beautiful.
