One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Asia to work for a nonprofit on a whim and stayed for one month the first time and 5 months the second time. Didn't speak English for almost a month during the first trip. (I don't speak another language—yet.)

Started a nonprofit online newspaper in 2020. https://www.blackcatholicmessenger.org/

Teach, Learn, Share

I can (sort of) teach about Christianity/Catholicism, singing, and technology; I love to learn about other cultures and languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, my singing (?), and an honest, drama-free personality.
