Music, Movies, and Books

I discovered Dostoevsky while in Russia. His books changed my life.

I love discovering bands, books, and movies in different countries-- I think that they provide a great lens into a culture!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught entrepreneurship and consulted for a business plan competition in Ghana. The students had brilliant ideas and the experience was very rewarding.

I participated in Habitat for Humanity's lent build (30 houses in 40 days) in El Salvador. Although the work was hard, the relationships I formed made the difference we were making very tangible and sincere.

As for adventure: rainforest canopy tour in Ghana, failed, but fun attempts at surfing in Costa Rica, and a zip line course through the mountaintops of a coffee plantation in El Salvador

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help people with English, Spanish, cooking, and proof-reading papers. I also have some unexpected talents when it comes to gift wrapping and rhyming. Let me know if I can be of service :)
