I'm currently living in Kigali, Rwanda and love traveling, meeting new people, and eating new foods! I'm lucky to pursue my passion for a living as a photographer and videographer for a nonprofit organization aiming to mitigate childhood malnutrition in Rwanda. Traveling and learning new languages inspires me. I'm highly proficient in Italian after studying and living in Rome, and am in the process of learning Kinyarwanda.
