To learn about myself, I connect with others. To connect with others, I learn about myself.

I try remember that beliefs, while necessary for day to day functioning, are ultimately fictional. This helps me to remain flexible in my perspectives.

Shortly after finishing university, I moved to London where I worked as a special needs teaching assistant for four years. I then returned to New Zealand and completed a Social Work Masters. In 2018 lived on a hippie commune and I've spent this year travelling.
