CURRENT MISSION

I received a grant to pursue creative research in Germany and France. Looking for a nice place to rest my head for the next five months, starting in August.

ABOUT ME

I've been scribbling poems on napkins, notebooks, and any open space of paper I can find since I was 12. Traveled to the Dominican Republic, Ghana, and Hong Kong previously. Just graduated, will be attending Harvard University next year for a Master's degree after a year of travel. I'm laid back and an introvert. Not opposed to spending a day hanging around the house, but also appreciate checking out every corner and crevice of new places I go.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey, but quotes are convenient and sometimes cheap.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to lots of different movies, but not a fan of the dark and dreary, violent ones. Big fan of documentaries too. Love the blues, jazz, r&b, hip hop, rap, indie rock, some classical jams as well. Always been big into historical non-fiction, but appreciate anything that sparks your imagination. Also been reading lots of critical theory throughout college.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years back, I visited Washington, D.C. while the Dalai Lama was offering teachings on the fundamentals of Buddhism. I had an opportunity to watch monks construct the Mandala, provide ritual chanting and meditation for peace, and hear the Dalai Lama speak.
