ABOUT ME

Im from Washington, DC but moved to Brizzy to go back to Uni. I used to work with an international NGO that was doing advocacy for refugees. Then, i traveled through the USA, West Africa and Central America to warm up for good times in Oz. now i'm here and loving it.
More importantly, I love to laugh, got to music festivals, talking to customer service representatives and to hang out at pubs. Ive been to many places and i cant wait to get to more - i just keep learning and that's awesome.

PHILOSOPHY
