CURRENT MISSION

Have a Great time in CHicago!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I to moved back to Chicago after working in Caracas Venezuela and am SUPER excited about being in the Windy City. I'm originally from Chicago, but left to go to school out east, so its great to be back home, although I must say a lot has changed since I’ve been gone! I finished HS and college pretty young and before grad school went abroad to work with energy companies in Rome and also South America, so I speak spanish and Italian really well. A little bit about the non work/school me, I've done the Brazilian martial art, Capoeira since HS. I try to get out as much as possible and I love trying out new cuisines. I’m somewhat of a politics and news junkie, which has led to do alot of political campaign work and travel to more off the beaten track kinda countries. I love telling stories from my travels, and i've certainly had them from being in a hotel in south asia that was attacked by a suicide bomber to having tear gas shot at me from a police helicopter in south america to meeting the dalai lama.
