CURRENT MISSION

The World is a Book, and those who do not travel only read one page. -St. Augustine

ABOUT ME

I just recently graduated with a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Central Oklahoma. Now I am currently living in Rome, Italy, and I have an internship where I teach English and make short films.

In college I lived in an old victorian house, in which we crammed as many people into the house as we could for cheap rent, but many of them were international students. We had roommates from Bolivia, Japan, Nepal, Pakistan, Korea, Taiwan, etc. I enjoyed more than anything experiencing life cross-culturally. It keeps open our palates and our politics.

PHILOSOPHY

We have met the enemy, and they are partly right.
-Anthony Campolo
