CURRENT MISSION

"if you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy [wo]man"

ABOUT ME

I find myself constantly uprooting myself from the places I grow to call home in search of the next adventure. I'm a nomad; bouncing back and forth from the east and west coasts of the USA in addition to an incredible year and a half in Asia. Currently living in Istanbul for a practicum with UN Women from Aug 2015 -March 2016.

PHILOSOPHY

Living life in the present.

Happy's up to you.
