I'm passionate about education and life! I love animals, the outdoors, making sushi, and good food. I am pretty outgoing and pretty easygoing. I love travelling, storytelling, and working with kids. I was in a creative social justice dance company for a year. I have a cat and a dog, and I love to swim, skate, bike. I'm always up for a good conversation.
Currently I'm doing an 8 month social innovation fellowship with the MaRS discovery district in Toronto where I'm working through a program called Design for Change to give young people the tools to solve problems in their communities, learning that they can shape, not just navigate, their world.
