CURRENT MISSION

To explore as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a student studying social ecology and ecofeminism. I am a doula offer my services for any and all birthing experiences. There are very few labels I feel comfortable using to describe myself, but I do consider myself a queer feminist. I believe that there is nothing more powerful than compassion. I hope to travel and become more connected with people from all different walks of life.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that if we all took the time to listen to one another with open minds and hearts, it would be impossible not to feel compassion. This is how I try to approach all my interactions and relationships--human and non-human. Listening is key.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love lots of music but my tried and true favorites are Patti Smith and Bob Dylan. My favorite book is The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts. I love every book written by Jonathan Safran-Foer. I am crazy for Emma Goldman. My favorite movie is Harold and Maude.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This past summer I was lucky enough to be the nanny of a wonderful little boy who taught me so much about life and who encouraged my curiosity. Spending my days with him, I saw the world in a different light. He reminded me of the importance of asking questions and always managed to make me laugh.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook vegan food, play guitar and sing, discuss feminism, philosophy, and spirituality, and make art. I can offer help in any of these areas. I also love listening to people talk, whether it be about their passions or their problems, so I can offer my ears and sympathy! I am open to learning whatever someone is offering to teach!
