CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college graduate and have worked as a case manager with the homelessness. I was just traveling for 8 months in South America and Mexico, volunteering and doing activist work, with a close friend, and I have never been happier. I value collective/group efforts and acts. I feel that a great deal of learning and growth comes from the people in my life.

Always down to meet new people with different insights and perspectives. I love going to new places and doing fun creative projects!
