ABOUT ME
Grew up in San Francisco and Los Angeles California— and in the past decade my geography has been flipped around -- traveling over 30 countries and living on 4 continentes from Madrid, Ghent, Senegal and Istanbul and India. I work for the U.N and more recently taking a break -- working on a short film.

PHILOSOPHY

'He is truly wise
who's traveled far
and knows the ways of the world.
He who has traveled
can tell what spirit
governs the men he meets'
