About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn as much as I can! ^^

ABOUT ME

I come from a multicultural family (Mom half swiss and half iranian/pakistani. Dad from California but with irish and czech roots). I was born and raised in Switzerland.
I would like to improve access to health care and education for every human beeing. I'try to respect the environment in my everyday life.

je suis issu d'une famille multiculturelle (maman suisse-romande et irano-pakistanaise / Papa californien mais d'origine irlandaise et tcheque). Je suis né et j'ai été élevé en Suisse.
Je souhaite améliorer l'accès à la santé et à l'éducation pour toutes et tous. J'essaie de respecter l'environnement dans ma vie quotidienne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the Summer 2008 I have been working in Kolkata (India) for 2 months as a voluntary! This experience changed my vision of the world and gave me a lot of positive energy to live my life a different way!
In Fall 2011 I did an ERASMUS exchange program in the UK while I was studying nursing. That's the first time I lived in another country than Switzerland: a wonderful experience!
Every year I take one week off from my daily job in the hospital to work for the hospitality team of a great film festival (FIFF: Festival International de Films de Fribourg), I love traveling with the movies!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that every single day we learn something new, we just have to be open at things going on around us...
