About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To teach. Also, to learn.

ABOUT ME

Lover of profound conversation, small excitements, color, singing in public spaces, hugs & anything sold in carts, I am a person passionate about people.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still in the process of figuring it out. It will probably involve chocolate, helping people and ridiculous 80s clothing.
