CURRENT MISSION

to help transform places and people (including myself!) with art, education, and cultural exchange

ABOUT ME

short. friendly. fiery. sleepy.

i'm currently finishing up my master's thesis in community development here in sunny sunny davis california. i teach for a living, with a little art & organizing thrown in around the edges. i love life -- and enjoy working to make the world a more peaceful, joyous place for future generations.

i love meeting new people -- and celebrating with old friends -- and learning from them both. That's why I travel, why I teach, why I make art, and why I stay home.... curiousity keeps things interesting.

I'm going travelling around the world, starting October 1st, to visit old friends, make new ones, and nurture my health. Perhaps I'll meet you along the way?
