CURRENT MISSION

Figure out how to create community wherever I go. Create something lasting.

ABOUT ME

I am all about learning from others, being open-minded, and working for social justice. I moved to Austin to work at a local worker center for immigrant construction workers. I learned a lot about organizing, power structures, the non-profit industrial complex, and myself. I'm now working as a bartender and looking for new opportunities to work with others to create a supportive community of change. Though I work a lot, I enjoy living life to the fullest and am always up for an adventure.
