About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Real Power for Real People

ABOUT ME

I have lived in cities, suburbs, and the middle of nowhere. I went to public school, montessori school, private school, boarding school, day school, half-and-half school, and international school. I've lived in the USA, Italy, and the UK. I've travelled to over 25 countries.

I've experienced a lot in these 21 years, and I can't wait to experience more.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."

You're human, live up to it.
