CURRENT MISSION

"Live in wonder. Live in awe."

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Europe but have lived in the US since I was 10. I am an editor for an online news publication and love to write fiction, ski and play music in my spare time. I aspire to see as much of the great breadth of the world, and learn as much about all the people in it, as life will allow me.
