CURRENT MISSION

I am seeking all the beauty, food and adventure the world has to offer

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, meeting new people and above all, eating food from all around the world!

I strongly believe in the importance of helping others so through international development and fighting global inequalities, I hope to make a difference - and along the way, travel and eat a lot!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having traveled to a few developing countries, I have spent time working with the less privileged people of the world. In India and the Dominican Republic, I was exposed to the extreme levels of poverty, hunger, homelessness and disease that exist. This lit a fire under me to use my efforts working towards a socially just world where health and resources are viewed as human rights that get distributed equally.
