I'm passionate about the intersection of education and entrepreneurship and have worked on gamified learning ecologies, startup ecosystems and human centered innovation projects; Otherwise, I'm backpacking, collecting or biases, unique cultural experiences and powerful conversations. I've been a game-designer, entrepreneur, trained futurist, a global citizen, curator but mostly a misfit.

Lived in four countries on three continents, backpacked and hiked in the Himalayas, the Rockies and the Alps, 32 countries and counting (unapologetically) while learning more about life and love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could cook for them although I'm not an expert chef, brainstorm ideas, startup advice, stories and travel tips, Photoshop and design to name a few. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Seeing patterns: Connecting people and ideas between each others.

Helping people find their true north, their passions and purpose. Something I've dedicated my life towards doing.

Being a great travel companion or jumping on an impromptu trip and telling stories about them.
