CURRENT MISSION

Be a contributing member of the New Orleans community

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Manhattan and have worked primarily abroad in post-conflict communities strengthening the peace process by creating social, educational, economic, and job opportunities.
I'm interested in continuing this work in New Orleans, where I live now. I graduated from college with a political science/peace studies degree.
I speak Spanish and French and some Arabic.
I like to write. I like you.

PHILOSOPHY

"Every man has within himself the entire human condition." (Michel de Montaigne)
OK, it might not be so personal.
