CURRENT MISSION

taking the world by STORM storm storm

ABOUT ME

I hail from Bahrain and am currently a proud resident of the charming Portland, Or. I am currently a full-time student/pre-service Elementary school teacher! The absurdity and genius of little ones bring me a lot of joy as does so many other things like yoga, warm coffee, good company, shitty reality TV (I know...), late night adventures with best friends, dancing in my living room, and reading in hammocks.

PHILOSOPHY

Get up off of that thing, dance you'll feel better
