CURRENT MISSION

To put an end to xenophobia!! aka save the world by educating the world about other cultures and preventing prejudice and hatred from causing war.

ABOUT ME

i'm a happy, idealistic, optimistic person. I love life, people, music, dancing in fields with my arms open. I grew up in philadelphia, went to school in boston, then got my MA in Oregon and have decided to stay in this beautiful state. All my life I've wanted to be a writer more specifically a travel writer since i was 12 and traveled to England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales as a student ambassador. I believe i can save the world by educating people about different cultures and opening up peoples hearts and minds to those less fortunate in the world. Our differences are what make us beautiful and until everyone believes that there can never be peace- we need to accept each other for who we are.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day as if its your last, live it to its fullest without regrets. Respect and love everyone for who they are for all their flaws, differences, background love everyone!! Everyone has a purpose in life mine is to make a difference in all of yours. Find your passion because once you do, you have a purpose in life. I believe in god but not religion because it separates people. Be spiritual.
