Anthropologist turned management consultant turned social impact road warrior. I've been working independently for about 1.5 years, providing direct support to entrepreneurs and business owners who are having a direct, positive impact on their communities. I thrive on learning others' stories (that's the anthropologist in me) and embrace the opportunity to learn a new perspective or have a new adventure. Three quotes that are part of my "mantra" that I use to motivate and guide me:

"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." ~George Bernard Shaw

"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." ~Ernest Hemingway

"Live to the point of tears." ~Albert Camus

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because I absolutely love getting to know people and their stories. And, for now anyways, money is very very tight - so when I'm traveling (for work or for pleasure), saving a penny goes a long way to using that penny to pay for the absolute necessities - rent, healthcare, food, etc.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Helped give birth to a baby zebra on the African savannas during a thunderstorm....ha jk, that would be pretty impressive. But - I have gone swimming with great white sharks off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. That's 100% true.
