CURRENT MISSION

Learn as much as I can about health inequalities in the developing world so I can effectively work towards equality.

PHILOSOPHY

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

I take this philosophy from Gandhi. It inspires me in all that I do.

I also believe we should think of ourselves as Global Citizens. My long term vision is to see people respect and support humanity as a whole, seeing beyond the superficial boundaries that we place upon ourselves.

Interests

Fighting for immigrant and refugee rights, traveling the developing world, advocating for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, humanitarian aid work, fighting for basic human needs worldwide, actively hating the World Bank and IMF.
