CURRENT MISSION

Buildling peace in the Balkans, seeing the world, drinking as much coffee as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a peacebuilder looking to travel in the Balkans while I am volunteering at a women's peace organization. Before moving to Bosnia, I lived in Washington DC and worked for a poverty alleviation advocacy organization. I also studied African history and international relations in the states, and lived in South Africa and Ireland. I have a pretty loud laugh, which I use as often as possible over tea, coffee, wine, beer, and any sort of starchy or cheesy food.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace and social justice without being a pacifist
