CURRENT MISSION

“The problem for us is not are our desires satisfied or not. The problem is how do we know what we desire.” ― Slavoj Žižek

ABOUT ME

Currently studying law in France on an exchange - have been living in Montreal, Quebec for the past 6 years. I have been in school WAY too long and so I have a love/hate relationship with anything overly academic. Despite this, I can debate for hours about trends in pop culture, politics and history, philosophy, and I love having really intense conversations that jump from one subject to another. I also love music and will dance my socks off till 5 in the morning if I am into it. My "career" goal is to be an advocate for people without a voice, and to do work that keeps me on my toes intellectually.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very inconsistent.. but admire those who stick to principles.
