CURRENT MISSION

i'm into social and environmental justice.

ABOUT ME

i'm an extremely active person. sometimes it makes me feel a little crazy if i don't have something to occupy my time. so, i do a lot. my current biggest volunteering commitment is being on several boards of directors: Kalamazoo People's Food Co-op, Fair Food Matters, the Peace Center, & ERAC/CE.

PHILOSOPHY

my life is a balance of living to change the world and continuing to have fun.
