ABOUT ME

I was born in Philadelphia and have lived there all my life. I attended an small Quaker elementary school where I gained an appreciation for non-violent conflict resolution. I then attended Germantown Friends for middle and high school and continued to learn under the Quaker tradition. I now attend Dickinson college in Carlisle PA. I have been running cross-country and track & field since my freshman year of high school and Penn Relays in Philadelphia is by far my favorite athletic event. I love being on a team and sharing the companionship of your teammates.

I am a Latin American Studies and International Studies Major and I intend on working in the social sector with an NGO, non-profit or
socially responsible business. I am considering applying for the peace-corp or doing taking a year off to work and travel after college.

I enjoy reading, watching movies, old and new, getting lunch with friends, hanging out, smoking an occasional cigar and drink.

I am currently studying abroad in Argentina and I find it fascinating to be immersed in different culture than your own. i believe living in another country and culture provides me a greater appreciation for my own culture and diversifies my perspective and tolerance of other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

treat others as you would want to be treated-tolerance, live and let live- respect everyones' views and opinions-

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting people from different cultures, countries, backgrounds- I love learning new customs, hearing about different individuals' experiences.

I believe learning and teaching comes functions through discussion, and over mate or a sobremesa it's a great way to disucuss any number of topics. I am interested in history, Latin American culture, languages, indigenous cultures and more!
