One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While in college, I visited Chiapas, Mexico to learn about the effects of US foreign policy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to juggle (maybe), fold origami, and to use your hands to make sounds like an owl. I can give you a 101 crash course in many social justice issues including jobs/labor, globalization, food systems, education, and environmental justice.
