CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love urban growing, bikes, public transportation, architecture,, and all creatures great and small. I love talking to people and hearing life stories and most of all I love laugh and make others laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

Breathe in, breathe out. Be mindful, have compassion, be present. On a more pragmatic side, often times I sing to myself "You put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor..." when I am procrastinating.
