CURRENT MISSION

Love, learn, live.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the Los Angeles area, but was born in The Netherlands and have always loved to travel and learn about other cultures. The last five years I lived on the East Coast, first for law school, then for work in New York City. I am an attorney, however, recently left my job and moved to South America for a few months to learn Spanish. Now I'm back in California and looking to set up in San Francisco. I am very interested in social justice causes, human rights work, etc. I also LOVE to eat good food and cook and drink wine. Love it.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave certainty and absolutism to the fearful.
