CURRENT MISSION

Studying, learning, seeing as much as I can... studying doesn't always mean learning, and learning doesn't always mean studying.

ABOUT ME

Hello! I am a second-year student at Yale University studying philosophy and English literature. In addition to English, I speak Arabic and French. I grew up in New Jersey, and enrolled at Yale when I was 18. I've been to Lebanon, Jordan, France, England, Greece, Mexico, South Africa, and Guadeloupe. Cape Town will always hold a special place in my heart.

PHILOSOPHY

Set your own goals. Don't let other people tell you what makes you happy... you know well enough yourself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Foals, Koop, Sleigh Bells, the Tron Soundtrack, Girl Talk, Lupe Fiasco, Buddha Bar, electroswing.Movies: Submarine, 21 Grams, The Bourne Trilogy, InceptionBooks: Favorite authors include Livy, Calvino, Homer, Milton, Tolstoy, and Shakespeare. I guess I'm a bit biased towards the classics, but mainly because I have to read them in school and don't get a chance to read anything else!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Petra in Jordan... it was mind-blowing.
