CURRENT MISSION

To better the world with patience and a smile!

ABOUT ME

I am a 27 year old who loves adventure and meeting new and old friends. When I am at home I like to be busy all the time: work, work some more, volunteer, and see friends whenever possible. I tend to work too much but it affords me to take time off to travel, so in the end it's worth it! I get along with everyone I meet and I enjoy learning from others.

I am working on my Masters degree right now and I am a person who love love loves learning. If I am not seeking knowledge I feel as though I am wasting my own time. I constantly read, travel and explore to feel that my need of knowledge is fulfilled. I am a person who loves immersion wrather than skimming the surface. I always look at both sides of a picture and I don't believe that anything can be reduced to a dichotomy of black and white, right and wrong.

PHILOSOPHY

To surround myself with wonderful, interesting and caring people. I live to show others that acceptance and kindness can lead to happiness through my actions and interactions.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie is "City of God" - a beautiful story, but also a movie full of beautiful cinematography.

I love all sorts of music - definitely not fussy in the musical genre department.

I have too many favorite books to list! High on my list, however, include "Cider House Rules", "Catch 22" and "A Movable Feast".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't like to rank all of my experiences into a heirarchy! I will say that a very challenging and enriching experience in my life took place while I was living in India, learning and exploring the Indian education system - everything from slum schools, to private schools, to the Tibetan education system.

Teach, Learn, Share

Two people can experience the same thing and walk away with very different impressions of it. I am curious in the reasons why people form the impressions that they do. Don't worry, I'm not going to interview you! I just love conversation where the reasons for the formation of impressions become apparent simply through the natural flow of dialogue.
