Hailing from Los Angeles and London, I am a travel enthusiast! I am looking forward to meeting and connecting with new people.

I am training for the National Three Peaks Challenge to climb the highest mountains of England, Scotland, and Wales within 24 hrs. [Ben Nevis is 1,344m or 4,409 ft] for a minimal of 26miles with a total ascent of 9,800feet taking place September 15-17, 2017, all for charity to benefit Parkinson’s UK.

My interest lies within the intersection of technology and entrepreneurship, fintech, and turnarounds. Trained as a strategist, I applied to my Global Business Assignment in Cape Town, South Africa, to provide insights to an NGO on an external change management problem. As a result I’d traveled to 18 countries in 14 months and would like to travel to Cuba before American capitalism takes over and backpack the Pacific Crest Trail.

I stay best by diverse and constant reading habits; active and probing conversations with interesting people; trying something new, pursuing the arts, practicing mindful meditation, Pilates, yoga (kundalini and hatha), and wonderful bouts of daily daydreaming!

Let’s chat and to end on a high note, Barbara Streisand once sang, “People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.”
