Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
It would be nice to evolve.
ABOUT ME
My favorite color is yellow. My favorite number is 5.
I spend my free time researching wines and debating the relevance of various graduate programs to my ever changing interests.
Other than that, I frequent wine tastings, study relentlessly and jog to the point of exhaustion. I also practice yoga and have a fiscally unsound love of shoes.
PHILOSOPHY
I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence
Frederick Douglass

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My aunt in Peru is a philanthropist and took me to one of her charities, it was a maximum security prison for female terrorists. Some were falsely imprisoned and some admit their wrongdoings. The experience really made me appreciate the freedoms otherwise taken for granted in America.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have an eye for the obscure, the eclectic, and the absurd. I'll take anyone along for an adventure, and always whip up tasty snacks for the road.
