ABOUT ME

After growing up in a relatively homogeneous suburb outside of Philadelphia, I've done everything I can to embrace other cultures and expand my worldview. I view life as a perpetual source of education, and I don't allow geography to prevent me from experiencing new things. It's a blessing to have friends in so many places.
